UNSPSC 51422313 Paramethasone is a Commodity code that captures pharmaceutical products and related medical supplies procured by state and local health agencies. Recent state and local activity under this code shows purchasing focused on emergency medical countermeasures and harm-reduction supplies rather than the specific pharmaceutical named in the code; Seminole County, Florida's June 2026 IFB solicitation for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems illustrates the practical scope of procurement activity. State and local health departments and county public-health agencies are the primary issuing bodies using this code, with procurement driven by community-health initiatives, emergency-response capability, and substance-use mitigation programs. Vendors must typically hold relevant professional credentials, comply with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements, and maintain commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance.

Seminole County, Florida represents the most recent documented activity. The county issued IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, to procure 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, and quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The contract included an initial two-year term with a one-year renewal option, drug-free workplace certification requirements, and potential FEMA funding with associated federal compliance obligations. Vendors were responsible for all shipping and delivery costs, and the procurement was open to all legally authorized U.S. contractors without explicit set-aside designations. Geographic activity under this code remains limited in documented state and local records, with Florida representing the primary visible market for this commodity category.
