UNSPSC 51434938 Hydrochlorothiazide/irbesartan is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical products, though state and local buyers are actually procuring a broader range of emergency medical medications rather than this specific combination drug. The City of Tampa's Fire Rescue Department represents the primary recent buyer under this code's broader pharmaceutical scope, soliciting advanced life support medications including labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem for emergency response use. State and local issuing bodies acquire medications under this code primarily through municipal fire departments, emergency medical services, and public health agencies that stock pharmaceuticals for acute care response. The Tampa solicitation reflects typical procurement patterns: sealed-bid competitions with firm pricing, strict expiration-date requirements (minimum nine months from acceptance), delivery timelines (ten calendar days of order receipt), and warranty provisions covering material defects for a full year. Vendors must maintain product quality throughout the contract term and handle replacement of expired inventory before the warranty period closes.

The recent activity shows geographic concentration in Florida, with the City of Tampa posting the identified opportunity (Bid No. 26P00188, IFB, due April 8, 2026) for an estimated contract value of $40,000.00 covering one year with optional two-year renewals and up to three 30-day unilateral extensions. The solicitation carries a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000 for SLBE participation. Vendors must submit Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and accessibility documentation meeting WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 standards. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of bid opening, with bids submitted electronically through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal.
