UNSPSC 51434943 Hydrochlorothiazide/metoprolol, a Commodity code, encompasses pharmaceutical products for emergency medical response that state and local governments procure for fire rescue and emergency services operations. The single recent opportunity in the market shows state and local agencies buying specific advanced life support medications—beta-blockers, vasopressors, antiarrhythmics, and calcium-channel blockers formulated as injectable vials—for paramedic and emergency medical technician protocols. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal fire departments and emergency services divisions that maintain their own Advanced Life Support (ALS) programs. The work involves supply of medications in unit quantities specified by clinical protocol, with strict requirements for expiration dating, defect warranties, expedited delivery windows, and compliance documentation including Safety Data Sheets and accessibility conformance reports.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department issued IFB 26P00188 on April 24, 2026, for Advanced Life Support Medications to supply Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County, Florida, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026—a compressed timeline reflecting emergency services procurement cycles. The bid solicited 370 units of Labetalol HCI 100mg vials, 1,810 units of Epinephrine 1:10,000 injections, 330 units of Adenosine 6mg vials, and 1,020 units of Diltiazem 25mg vials, with firm pricing including freight on board to Tampa and all applicable taxes, a one-year initial contract term with two one-year renewal options, and a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market set-aside with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000. The estimated contract value is $40,000. Activity under this code appears limited; only one recent municipal fire rescue opportunity was posted, suggesting narrow market activity concentrated in specific jurisdictions with established ALS supply chains.
