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 51434945 Hydrochlorothiazide/olmesartan is a Commodity code that in practice spans a broader range of pharmaceuticals than its specific name suggests. State and local governments use this code to procure medications for emergency medical services, fire rescue operations, and public health functions. The City of Tampa's recent bid for Advanced Life Support Medications illustrates the actual scope: the solicitation requested multiple injectable medications including Labetalol, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem for use by Tampa Fire Rescue, not the specific combination drug named in the code. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal purchasing departments procuring on behalf of fire and rescue agencies, and likely public health and emergency medical services divisions across local jurisdictions. The work involves supplying pharmaceutical stock with firm pricing, guaranteed expiration windows (typically nine months or more from delivery), rapid fulfillment (ten calendar days in the Tampa case), and full compliance with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and accessibility requirements.

Geographic activity centers on Florida, as evidenced by the City of Tampa IFB (Solicitation 26P00188, due April 8, 2026, estimated value $40,000). The Tampa solicitation carried a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000, signaling local set-aside availability in at least this jurisdiction. Award was to be made within 120 days to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with a one-year initial term and options for two additional one-year renewals plus three 30-day unilateral extensions. The requirement for Safety Data Sheets and WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility documentation reflects emerging compliance expectations in municipal pharmaceutical procurement. The code shows limited recent activity in the source, with only one representative opportunity identified.
