UNSPSC 51451906 Closantel is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations encompasses naloxone, drug deactivation systems, generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter products, and emergency medical and first aid supplies procured by health departments, emergency services, and state pharmacy benefit programs. The scope of work stretches across community health initiatives, fire-rescue operations, and multi-jurisdictional pharmaceutical supply programs rather than a single active pharmaceutical ingredient. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health departments, municipal fire departments, cooperative purchasing alliances spanning multiple states, and state health and human services commissions. Seminole County, Florida and the City of Tampa's Fire Department appear as recent buyers; the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) and Texas Health and Human Services Commission represent larger pooled purchasing vehicles serving state and local facilities across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the upper Midwest, with broader multi-state reach through cooperative agreements. The Seminole County, Florida IFB (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually for quarterly delivery to the Seminole County Community Health Building. The City of Tampa's IFB (26P00145, due March 13, 2026) requested 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies including respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, and oxygen delivery systems for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and a sheltered-market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance issued an RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across state and local government facilities in Minnesota, Oregon, and participating jurisdictions, requiring vendors to work through three authorized wholesalers with pricing evaluated on competitiveness (75 percent weight) and compliance with cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act requirements. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFI (HHS0017013, posted April 3, 2026) sought vendor capabilities for direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs to support the state's pharmacy benefit program, representing an exploratory phase for future procurement strategy.
