This classification denotes a calcium channel blocker with the molecular formula C17H18N2O6, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier I9ZF7L6G2L, chemically known as 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(o-nitrophenyl)-, dimethyl ester (8ci) but generally known as nifedipine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 4485. European Medicines Agency schedules Nifedipine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09253MIG.

UNSPSC 51433903 Nifedipine, a Commodity code, encompasses pharmaceutical supplies purchased by state and local government health and emergency-response agencies. State and local buyers under this code procure emergency medications and advanced life support pharmaceuticals for use in fire rescue, emergency medical services, and public health operations. The code reflects actual procurement of branded and generic formulations of nifedipine and related cardiovascular agents—calcium channel blockers used in acute care settings—though recent solicitations show municipal fire rescue departments sourcing broader Advanced Life Support medication line items that include multiple cardiac and vasopressor agents beyond nifedipine alone.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department issued an IFB (Bid No. 26P00188) on April 24, 2026, for Advanced Life Support Medications to supply Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County, Florida, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, and an estimated contract value of $40,000. The solicitation specified four medication line items (labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem) required for fire rescue operations, with a one-year initial term and two one-year renewal options, plus unilateral extension rights for up to three additional 30-day periods. The procurement included a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount for SLBE participation not to exceed $10,000, and required vendors to meet OSHA Hazard Communication Standards, Section 508 accessibility standards, and WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance. Recent state and local opportunities under this code remain limited; this Tampa Fire Rescue medication procurement represents the primary visible activity in the dataset.
