UNSPSC 51143100: Salicylates

The salts or esters of salicylic acids, or salicylate esters of an organic acid.

UNSPSC 51143100 Salicylates is a Class code covering pain relievers, antiseptic products, and related medical supplies that state and local governments procure for emergency response, first aid, and healthcare operations. The work being solicited under this code centers on consumable medical and first aid items—aspirin, pain relievers, antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, and emergency blankets—purchased in bulk by fire departments, emergency medical services, and similar response agencies. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal fire and rescue departments; the recent opportunity block shows activity from city-level procurement offices managing medical supply contracts for operational use.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25-P-00157 in April 2026 for Medical Aid Supplies, targeting 32 distinct first aid and medical items with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item against a $100,000 departmental budget. The solicitation offered a 5% bid discount under Tampa's Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprise (U-WMBE) set-asides, with discounts capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs; all medications required a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and the city reserved the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items. The bid opening was scheduled for April 9, 2025, with an initial one-year award period and two optional one-year renewals. The recent-opportunities block shows limited activity under this code; sourcing patterns and geographic concentration outside this single Tampa procurement are not supported by the available records.
