UNSPSC 51434900: Combination antihypertensives

This classification denotes combination drugs that treat acute or chronic, persistently-high, systemic arterial blood pressure, or vascular hypertension, hence the term ANTIHYPERTENSIVES. Typical combination antihypertensive constituents are aliskiren, benazepril, candesartan, deserpidine, diltiazem, eprosartan, fosinopril, guanethidine, and hydralazine.

UNSPSC 51434900 Combination antihypertensives is a Class code under which state and local governments procure emergency medical medications for use by fire rescue, EMS, and paramedic services. The work involves sourcing specific combination antihypertensive formulations and related advanced life support drugs in quantity for emergency response and hospital transport operations. State and local health and public safety departments, municipal fire rescue services, and emergency medical authorities are the primary issuing bodies under this code. Solicitations typically require vendors to meet strict pharmaceutical standards, including expiration-date warranties, defect-free guarantees, rapid delivery timelines, and compliance with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and accessibility requirements such as WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508. Bids are usually small-dollar goods procurements with firm pricing that includes shipping to the delivery point, and contracts typically run one year with renewal options.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted an IFB for Advanced Life Support Medications (Solicitation 26P00188) with a response date of April 8, 2026 and an estimated value of $40,000.00. The solicitation specified four medication line items — Labetalol HCI 100mg vials, Epinephrine 1:10,000 injections, Adenosine 6mg vials, and Diltiazem 25mg vials — for use by Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County, Florida, with a requirement for nine-month minimum shelf life at acceptance and ten-calendar-day delivery. The City applied a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount for SLBE participation not to exceed $10,000, and reserved the right to award by division or in aggregate. Recent activity under this code is limited; the source identifies only one recent state or local solicitation.
