UNSPSC 51433600: Antihypertensive piperidines

Antihypertensive drugs made from a family of hexahydropyridines.

UNSPSC 51433600 Antihypertensive piperidines is a Class code that encompasses emergency and acute-care medications used by state and local public safety agencies. Recent solicitation activity shows state and local governments procuring specific vasodilator and antiarrhythmic medications for emergency medical services—including labetalol, diltiazem, and related advanced life support drugs supplied to fire rescue departments and emergency response teams. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal purchasing departments and city fire departments, working on behalf of emergency medical services operations. Procurement under this code centers on small to mid-sized purchase orders with firm pricing inclusive of shipping, stringent expiration-date requirements (typically nine months or longer from acceptance), rapid delivery timelines (often ten calendar days or less), and warranty provisions covering material defects and expired-stock replacement.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department solicited Advanced Life Support Medications (IFB 26P00188) in April 2026 for Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County, Florida, requesting sealed bids for four medication line items—labetalol HCI 100mg vials, epinephrine 1:10,000 injections, adenosine 6mg vials, and diltiazem 25mg vials—with a response deadline of April 8, 2026 and estimated contract value of $40,000. The solicitation included a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount (not to exceed $10,000) and required accessibility documentation conforming to WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 standards, along with OSHA-compliant Safety Data Sheets. Recent activity on this code remains sparse; the Tampa opportunity represents a notable municipal procurement but does not yet indicate broader regional or statewide momentum.
