UNSPSC 51451804 Zilantel is a Commodity code designating pharmaceutical products, but the recent solicitations tagged under it show state and local governments procuring naloxone, over-the-counter medications, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals across multiple channels—direct purchases from manufacturers, cooperative purchasing agreements, and emergency-response medical supplies. The scope spans naloxone for community health and opioid-overdose response, first-aid and rescue supplies for emergency services, and generic pharmaceuticals for state employee and retiree health plans distributed through authorized wholesalers. Issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission, Minnesota Department of Administration), municipal fire departments (City of Tampa), and regional cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, or MMCAP). The code draws both direct-purchase bids and RFP-stage cooperative agreements, indicating activity across procurement vehicles ranging from standard competitive bidding to multi-state group purchasing.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. Seminole County issued IFB 60459723LAS for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually, due July 26, 2023, with quarterly deliveries to the county community health building. The City of Tampa released ITB 26P00145 for medical and first aid supplies—169 line items including respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, and consumables for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division—due March 13, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a designated set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) carrying a 5 percent bid discount. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) issued RFP S1070000015802 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products on behalf of Minnesota and participating jurisdictions including Oregon, due March 26, 2026, requiring vendors to supply through three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, Morris & Dickson) and comply with cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act certification. The Texas HHS Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 on April 3, 2026, to gather vendor information on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs for state pharmacy benefits, signaling early-stage procurement strategy development in that market.
