UNSPSC 51431800: Antihypertensive benzene derivatives and benzimidazoles and benzofurans and catecholamines

This classification denotes Antihypertensives drugs made from or based in part on benzene derivatives, benzimidazoles, benzofurans, or catecholamines

UNSPSC 51431800 Antihypertensive benzene derivatives and benzimidazoles and benzofurans and catecholamines is a Class code covering emergency medical medications procured by state and local health and public safety agencies. State and local governments use this code to acquire specific pharmaceutical products — primarily antihypertensive and sympathomimetic drugs — for emergency medical services, hospital systems, and public health response. The solicitation activity under this code reflects procurement of branded or generic formulations of medications such as labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem that form the backbone of advanced life support protocols. Issuing bodies include municipal fire and emergency services departments, county health authorities, and hospital procurement offices that stock these medications for paramedic and emergency department use.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted an IFB (Bid No. 26-P-00188) in April 2026 for Advanced Life Support Medications to supply Tampa Fire Rescue with four specific line items: 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 response deadline of April 8, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $40,000.00. The opportunity required firm pricing inclusive of all shipping and taxes, delivery within ten calendar days of order, minimum nine-month shelf life from acceptance, and a one-year base term with two optional one-year renewals. The City designated the procurement as sheltered for Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation with a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000. Recent activity in this Class code is sparse; the Tampa Fire Rescue solicitation is the sole recent state and local opportunity identified.
