UNSPSC 51453000: Anthelmintic piperazines

Anthelmintic drugs made from organic compounds composed of a six-membered ring containing two nitrogen atoms at opposite positions (hexa-hydro-pyrazine(s)).

UNSPSC 51453000 Anthelmintic piperazines is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement appears to span pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement more broadly than its nominal scope suggests, encompassing naloxone, emergency medical supplies, and generic pharmaceuticals sourced through state health agencies and municipal purchasing. The recent opportunities show state health and human services commissions, municipal fire departments, and cooperative purchasing alliances soliciting competitive bids and RFPs for pharmaceutical inventories, emergency medical consumables, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs to support public health, emergency response, and employee health plan administration.

State and local procurement under this code spans diverse issuing bodies: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an RFI for direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs; Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems; the City of Tampa's Fire Department Rescue Division sought medical and first aid supplies through sealed competitive bid; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued an RFP for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products available across participating state and local government facilities including Oregon. Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Minnesota, with multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles also active. Representative solicitations include Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS (naloxone and drug deactivation systems, response due July 26, 2023), the City of Tampa's Bid 26-P-00145 for medical and first aid supplies (response due March 13, 2026, estimated contract value $700,000.00), and MMCAP's RFP S1070000015802 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products (response due March 26, 2026). The Tampa procurement is sheltered for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount available.
