UNSPSC 51431900: Antihypertensive alcohols

Antihypertensive drugs made from alkyl compounds containing a hydroxyl group.

UNSPSC 51431900 Antihypertensive alcohols, a Class code, encompasses emergency and acute-care medications used by state and local health systems, fire rescue departments, and pharmacy benefit programs—specifically medications such as Labetalol, Diltiazem, and other vasodilators supplied in injectable and tablet forms. State and local purchasing focuses on procurement of branded and generic pharmaceutical stock for immediate operational deployment, cooperative purchasing agreements spanning multiple jurisdictions, and direct-to-manufacturer programs designed to bypass traditional pharmacy benefit managers and group purchasing organization intermediaries. Issuing bodies include municipal fire rescue departments, state health and human services agencies, and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances; the City of Tampa's Fire Rescue and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as active buyers in the current market.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. The City of Tampa issued IFB 26P00188 in April 2026 for Advanced Life Support Medications (Labetalol, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem) with an estimated value of $40,000 and response deadline of April 8, 2026; the contract carries a one-year base term with two optional one-year renewals and includes a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 in April 2026 to gather vendor capabilities for direct-to-manufacturer prescription fulfillment without pharmacy benefit manager intermediation. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued RFP S1070000015802 due March 26, 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through authorized wholesalers across participating state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon; the contract term runs two years with optional extensions, and vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance, comply with cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act standards, and absorb a 3 percent administrative fee.
