UNSPSC 51414000: Vasodilator piperidines

Vasodilator drugs made from a family of hexahydropyridines.

UNSPSC 51414000 Vasodilator piperidines is a Class code that describes pharmaceutical active ingredients used in emergency medical care. State and local governments procure these medications—specifically vasodilators such as diltiazem and adenosine—as components of advanced life support drug inventories supplied to fire rescue departments, emergency medical services, and hospital systems. The solicitations under this code reflect demand from municipal fire departments and regional EMS agencies stocking medications for acute cardiovascular and cardiac-arrest response. Issuing bodies include city purchasing departments acting on behalf of fire rescue operations; the activity is episodic and driven by inventory replenishment cycles and expiration management rather than continuous procurement.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted IFB 26P00188 on April 24, 2026, seeking Advanced Life Support Medications including 330 units of Adenosine 6mg vials and 1,020 units of Diltiazem 25mg vials for Tampa Fire Rescue, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026 and estimated contract value of $40,000.00. The solicitation required electronic bid submission through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal, included a 5 percent Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market bid discount (not to exceed $10,000), and specified a one-year contract term with two one-year renewal options. Medications required nine-month minimum shelf life at acceptance and ten-calendar-day delivery, with vendors responsible for pickup and replacement of expired materials. The City reserved unilateral right to extend for up to three additional 30-day periods and to award by line-item division. Geographic activity centers on Florida; the source provides no evidence of recent solicitations outside this jurisdiction or from other issuing bodies under this code.
