Vernakalant most often comes in base and hydrochloride forms. European Medicines Agency schedules Vernakalant in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB30707.

UNSPSC 51434005 Vernakalant, a Commodity code, addresses pharmaceutical products used in emergency medical services, though the recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on broader advanced life support medication supply rather than vernakalant specifically. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly municipal fire and rescue departments acquiring injectable medications used in prehospital and acute care settings. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department is a representative buyer, procuring medications for Tampa Fire Rescue to stock advanced life support kits and emergency response protocols. Vendors supplying under this code must meet strict pharmaceutical compliance requirements including expiration-date warranties of nine months or more from acceptance, on-time delivery within ten calendar days, defect warranties of 365 days, and comprehensive Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida. The City of Tampa posted IFB 26P00188 on April 24, 2026, for advanced life support medications (Labetalol HCI, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem) with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, and an estimated contract value of $40,000.00; the solicitation included a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount. The contract runs for one year from award with two optional renewal periods and the city's unilateral right to extend for three additional 30-day periods. This code shows limited recent activity in the state and local procurement stream; no additional opportunities beyond the Tampa solicitation appear in the current dataset.
