UNSPSC 51431614 Verapamil hydrochloride is a Commodity code covering specific pharmaceutical active ingredients for emergency medical use. State and local governments procuring under this code buy advanced life support medications for fire rescue, emergency medical services, and healthcare delivery — most recently exemplified by Tampa Fire Rescue's procurement of multiple ALS drug formulations including verapamil derivatives alongside complementary agents such as labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem. Issuing bodies include municipal fire departments and purchasing offices acting on behalf of emergency response divisions; the single recent opportunity in the block shows a city fire rescue service as the end user, with the purchasing department handling the procurement function. Medications must meet strict expiration and shelf-life requirements, typically nine months or more from acceptance, with vendors responsible for expired-material replacement and pickup. Bid specifications commonly include Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards, firm all-inclusive pricing with freight on board to the delivery location, and rapid turnaround (ten calendar days from order receipt or order-specific timelines).

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department issued Bid No. 26-P-00188 for Advanced Life Support Medications on April 24, 2026, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026 (a closed IFB) and an estimated contract value of $40,000.00 covering a one-year term with options for two additional one-year renewals plus unilateral extension periods. The solicitation carried a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount for SLBE participation not to exceed $10,000, and required vendors to submit comprehensive accessibility conformance documentation under WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 standards. Recent activity under this code appears limited to Florida jurisdictions based on the available record, with municipal fire rescue services and emergency medical procurement offices as the primary buying entities.
