UNSPSC 51433921 Nicardipine is a Commodity code representing pharmaceutical products purchased by state and local emergency-response agencies for prehospital acute-care use. State and local governments procure nicardipine and related Advanced Life Support medications as finished goods — vials, injections, and pre-filled syringes — for deployment by fire-rescue services and emergency medical personnel. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal fire departments and city purchasing offices acting on their behalf, typically sourcing medications through competitive sealed-bid processes to ensure cost control and product quality assurance.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted IFB 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 estimated contract value of $40,000. The solicitation called for four medication line items including epinephrine, diltiazem, adenosine, and labetalol — a broader class than nicardipine alone — with nine-month minimum shelf life, ten-day delivery, and one-year initial term with two one-year renewal options. The City designated the procurement as a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000, required vendors to provide OSHA-compliant Safety Data Sheets, and imposed WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility compliance. This is the only recent state and local opportunity visible in the source under this Commodity code.
