UNSPSC 51433937 Nicardipine hydrochloride, a Commodity code, reflects state and local government procurement of emergency medical medications for first responder and hospital use. The recent activity under this code shows municipalities buying individual medication line items for emergency medical services—specifically advanced life support drugs used by fire rescue departments and other emergency response entities. The medications procured are typically branded or generic pharmaceuticals supplied in measured quantities (vials, injections, pre-filled syringes) with strict expiration-date requirements, usually nine months or longer from acceptance, and vendor-managed replacement obligations before expiration.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department issued an IFB (Invitation for Bid) in April 2026 for Advanced Life Support Medications (Solicitation 26P00188) to support Tampa Fire Rescue operations in Hillsborough County, Florida. The bid solicited four medication line items—Labetalol HCI, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem—with an estimated contract value of $40,000.00 and a response deadline of April 8, 2026. The award was to go to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of bid opening, with a one-year initial term and options for two additional one-year renewals plus up to three 30-day unilateral extensions. The City applied a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount (not to exceed $10,000) and required vendors to submit OSHA-compliant Safety Data Sheets and WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility documentation. The source reflects limited recent opportunities under this specific Commodity code; the Tampa solicitation is the sole recent activity present in the dataset.
