European Medicines Agency schedules Pentamethonium bromide in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09681MIG.

UNSPSC 51434108 Pentamethonium bromide is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical active ingredients and finished medications procured for emergency medical and healthcare applications. State and local governments source under this code to supply emergency responder and healthcare provider inventories, though recent activity shows the code is most directly invoked for finished advanced life support medications rather than the pentamethonium compound itself. The issuing bodies are municipal fire and rescue departments supported by city purchasing offices. The scope encompasses sealed bid procurements for pharmaceutical supplies with firm pricing, stringent expiration and warranty requirements, and compliance with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and federal accessibility mandates.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County, Florida posted the primary recent opportunity under this code — a sealed IFB (Bid No. 26P00188) due April 8, 2026, for advanced life support medications including labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem in specified unit quantities, with an estimated contract value of $40,000. The solicitation carried a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000. Medications required nine months' minimum shelf life at acceptance, ten-day delivery windows, and a one-year base contract term with two renewal options and up to three unilateral 30-day extensions. The source shows limited recent activity — only one opportunity posted — suggesting this code sees episodic rather than continuous procurement traffic in state and local markets.
