UNSPSC 51413900: Vasodilators, synthesized

This classification denotes Vasodilators composed of multiple constituents, with no dominant constituent.

UNSPSC 51413900 Vasodilators, synthesized is a Class code covering pharmaceutical ingredients and finished medications that state and local health systems and emergency services procure for patient care. The recent solicitations show state and local buyers are acquiring specific vasodilator and related cardiac-support medications—particularly labetalol, diltiazem, epinephrine, and adenosine—in vial and injectable forms for emergency medical transport and hospital use. Issuing bodies span fire rescue departments, state health commissions, and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue (Hillsborough County) issued an IFB for Advanced Life Support Medications in April 2026 seeking 370 units of Labetalol HCI 100mg vials, 1,810 units of Epinephrine 1:10,000 injections, 330 units of Adenosine 6mg vials, and 1,020 units of Diltiazem 25mg vials, with a contract value of $40,000. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a Request for Information in April 2026 to explore direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs that may expand access to prescription medications including vasodilators. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued an RFP in January 2026 (due March 26, 2026) to establish contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, requiring vendors to supply through three authorized wholesalers and maintain compliance with cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act requirements.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Minnesota, and Florida, with MMCAP's cooperative vehicle covering multiple states. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet stringent pharmaceutical compliance standards: all medications require Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards, expiration dates of nine months or more from acceptance for emergency use cases and at least one year from manufacture for broader cooperative purchases, and demonstrated relationships with FDA-regulated manufacturers. The Tampa solicitation designated a 5 percent bid discount for Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) without subcontracting goals. MMCAP evaluates proposals on price competitiveness (75 percent weight), fixed pricing, EDI capability, and administrative fee compliance, with contract terms of two years for new vendors and optional extensions. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance including $5 million commercial general liability and $2 million network security and privacy liability. Performance penalties for MMCAP contracts range from $200 to $1,500 per violation for late reporting or missed onboarding deadlines.
