UNSPSC 51434903 Aliskiren/hydrochlorothiazide is a Commodity code that in practice covers emergency medical medications procured by fire and rescue agencies for advanced life support protocols. State and local purchasing offices use this code to classify solicitations for branded and generic pharmaceuticals used in prehospital and emergency transport settings. The scope of work extends beyond the code's nominal name — recent solicitations under this code include requests for a range of critical care injectables (epinephrine, adenosine, diltiazem, labetalol) rather than the specific antihypertensive combination the code title suggests. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal fire and rescue departments and city purchasing offices acting on their behalf, with procurement typically driven by emergency services operational needs and formulary requirements.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue posted an IFB (Bid No. 26-P-00188) via the OpenGov eProcurement Portal in April 2026 for Advanced Life Support Medications with a response deadline of April 8, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $40,000.00. The solicitation required four medication line items totaling approximately 3,530 units across labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem, with delivery within ten calendar days of order and expiration warranties of nine months or more. The City of Tampa designated the bid as a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market opportunity with a 5 percent discount available for SLBE participation not to exceed $10,000. Recent activity under this code remains limited and concentrated in Florida; no other state or local opportunities appear in the source block, indicating this Commodity code sees sparse procurement traffic at the state and local level.
