This classification denotes a calcium channel blocker with the molecular formula C27H38N2O4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier CJ0O37KU29, chemically known as 5-((3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)methylamino)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-isopropylvaleronitrile but generally known as verapamil, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2520. European Medicines Agency schedules Verapamil in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB00038MIG.

UNSPSC 51431609 Verapamil is a Commodity code that covers individual pharmaceutical products stocked for emergency medical use, though the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows limited direct procurement of verapamil itself. State and local emergency medical services (EMS) and fire departments acquire advanced life support medications through individual product bids and standing supply agreements. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue, for example, procures a range of ALS medications—labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem—as sealed-bid goods solicitations, typically bundling multiple medication line items within a single IFB to streamline vendor qualification and delivery logistics. Issuing bodies include municipal purchasing departments acting on behalf of local fire rescue operations and EMS agencies, which treat pharmaceutical procurement as routine goods acquisition with firm pricing, expiration-date warranties, and rapid turnover requirements tied to clinical protocols and inventory management cycles.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted IFB 26P00188 on April 24, 2026, with bids due April 8, 2026 (note: the due date predates the posting date in the source, indicating a correction or amendment), seeking four ALS medication line items totaling approximately 3,530 units for an estimated contract value of $40,000. The contract runs for one year with two optional one-year renewals and unilateral City extension rights for up to three additional 30-day periods. Tampa's solicitation included a 5 percent bid discount for Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation and required vendors to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility standards, OSHA hazard communication compliance, and safety data sheet submission. Medications must maintain nine or more months' expiration from acceptance, with delivery within ten calendar days and vendor liability for expired-material replacement. The source reflects Florida as the active jurisdiction; broader geographic distribution remains unclear from this single recent opportunity.
