This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class CV400. This VA Drug Class (CV400) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIHYPERTENSIVE COMBINATIONS.

UNSPSC 51434920 Chlorothiazide/methyldopa is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses advanced life support and emergency medications supplied to state and local public safety agencies. The recent solicitation activity shows state and local governments buying specific emergency pharmaceuticals — epinephrine, adenosine, diltiazem, labetalol — for use by fire rescue and emergency medical services, rather than the single compound the code name suggests. Issuing bodies include city purchasing departments and municipal fire services, which source these medications as consumable supplies for operational emergency response programs.

The Tampa Fire Rescue solicitation (City of Tampa Purchasing Department, IFB 26P00188, due April 8, 2026, estimated contract value $40,000.00) represents the recent activity visible under this code. The opportunity required vendors to supply four specific medication line items totaling approximately 3,530 units, with nine-month minimum shelf life, ten-day delivery, and one-year initial term with two one-year renewal options plus three optional 30-day extensions. The City applied a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000. Beyond the single recent Tampa posting, no additional state or local opportunities appear in the source record for this code, limiting visibility into geographic spread or issuing-body concentration across other jurisdictions.
