This classification denotes an angiotensin ii receptor antagonist with the molecular formula C24H29N5O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 80M03YXJ7I, chemically known as l-valine, n-(1-oxopentyl)-n-((2-(1h-tetrazol-5-yl)(1,1-biphenyl)-4-yl)methyl)- but generally known as valsartan, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 60846. European Medicines Agency schedules Valsartan in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB00017MIG.

UNSPSC 51434502 Valsartan is a Commodity code that covers pharmaceutical products supplied to state and local emergency services and healthcare systems. While the code nominally names a specific antihypertensive drug, state and local solicitations under this code in practice encompass a broader range of injectable medications procured for emergency medical use. The City of Tampa's recent sealed-bid solicitation for Advanced Life Support Medications illustrates the actual scope: Tampa Fire Rescue requires a mix of cardiac and resuscitation drugs including epinephrine, adenosine, diltiazem, and labetalol—not valsartan alone. The issuing bodies soliciting under this Commodity code are primarily municipal fire and rescue departments and city purchasing offices acting on their behalf, purchasing finished pharmaceuticals in bulk unit quantities with firm pricing, nine-month expiration warranties, rapid delivery windows, and one-year contract terms with renewal options.

The recent activity under this code centers in Florida, with the City of Tampa's $40,000 Advanced Life Support Medications procurement posted in April 2026 and responding to bids by April 8, 2026 (note: the due date preceded the posted date in the source record, indicating a compressed bidding window or potential data anomaly). The Tampa solicitation was issued as an IFB with a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation offering a 5 percent bid discount for SLBE participation not to exceed $10,000, and required vendors to submit Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA standards, accessibility documentation under WCAG 2.2 Level AA, and warranty coverage for 365 days against defects. Award was to be made within 120 days to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. The geographic spread and issuing-body profile beyond this single recent opportunity are not evident from the available data.
