UNSPSC 51433902: Amlodipine

This classification denotes a calcium channel blocker with the molecular formula C20H25ClN2O5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 1J444QC288, chemically known as 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 2-((2-aminoethoxy)methyl)-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl-, 3-ethyl 5-methyl ester but generally known as amlodipine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2162. Amlodipine most often comes in base, benzenesulfonate, besilate, besylate, and maleate forms.

UNSPSC 51433902 Amlodipine, a Commodity code, describes pharmaceutical products procured by state and local emergency services and healthcare systems. While amlodipine is a calcium-channel blocker used primarily for hypertension and angina, the recent state and local activity under this code centers on emergency medical services procurement of advanced life support medications more broadly — the Tampa Fire Rescue solicitation, for instance, bundles amlodipine with related acute-care injectables including epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem. State and local buyers under this code are primarily municipal fire departments and emergency management divisions acquiring medications for field paramedic protocols, often consolidated with other cardiovascular and respiratory agents in single-award or multi-line contracts. The procurement model emphasizes firm pricing, rapid fulfillment (typically ten calendar days or less), and strict expiration-date management — suppliers must guarantee nine months or more shelf life at delivery and maintain replacement logistics for expired stock before the warranty period closes.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted one recent representative opportunity under this code: an IFB for Advanced Life Support Medications (Solicitation 26P00188, due April 8, 2026, estimated contract value $40,000.00) to supply Tampa Fire Rescue with four medication line items across a one-year initial term plus renewal and extension options. The procurement required sealed bids through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal, awarded to the lowest responsive bidder within 120 days of bid opening, with a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation offering a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000. Beyond this single Tampa posting, the source provides limited recent-activity data to characterize geographic spread or dominant issuing bodies across the commodity code. Florida and municipal fire departments represent the visible current market segment, though state emergency-services procurement, county emergency management systems, and regional EMS authorities likely participate in similar consolidations under the same code nationally.
