UNSPSC 51431901: Candesartan

This classification denotes an angiotensin ii receptor antagonist with the molecular formula C24H20N6O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier S8Q36MD2XX, chemically known as 1h-benzimidazole-7-carboxylic acid, 2-ethoxy-1-((2-(1h-tetrazol-5-yl)(1,1-biphenyl)-4-yl)methyl)- but generally known as candesartan, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2541. Candesartan most often comes in base, celexetil, and hexetil forms.

UNSPSC 51431901 Candesartan is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement covers emergency medical supply chain activity — specifically, the procurement of advanced life support medications for fire rescue and emergency medical services. The City of Tampa's April 2026 solicitation for Advanced Life Support Medications (IFB 26P00188) illustrates the work: Tampa Fire Rescue required four medication line items (Labetalol HCI, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem vials) totaling roughly 3,500 units on a one-year renewable contract with a $40,000 estimated value. Fire departments, rescue services, and emergency medical departments within city and county governments issue these procurements to maintain critical pharmaceutical inventory with strict expiration-date management, rapid delivery, and product-warranty requirements. Vendors must supply materials free from defects for 365 days minimum, arrange replacement of expired stock before the nine-month shelf-life threshold, and guarantee delivery within ten calendar days of order. The code encompasses direct municipal procurement by fire-rescue operations rather than system-wide healthcare pharmacy management.

Recent activity shows the code active in Florida, with Tampa's procurement representing a current regional focus. The City of Tampa's solicitation used an IFB structure with electronic submission through OpenGov eProcurement Portal and a response deadline of April 8, 2026. The opportunity carried a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation offering a 5 percent bid discount (not to exceed $10,000) for SLBE participation. Vendors must submit Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and accessibility documentation meeting WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 standards. The contract includes a one-year base term with two optional one-year renewals and up to three additional 30-day unilateral extensions at the City's discretion, awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of bid opening.
