UNSPSC 51143101: Salicylic acid

This classification denotes an anti-infective agent with the molecular formula C7H6O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier O414PZ4LPZ, chemically known as silver salicylate, ag (c7h5o3) but generally known as salicylic acid, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 338. European Medicines Agency schedules Salicylic acid in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB15180MIG. World Health Organization schedules salicylic acid in its Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification.

Most nations schedule salicylic acid under HS 29182100 and SITC 51393. As of Q4 2014, SALICYLIC ACID remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. Salicylic acid bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0036079 and NCI Concept Code C61934. SMILES: C1=CC=C(C(=C1)C(=O)O)O.

UNSPSC 51143101 Salicylic acid (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. The City of Austin's IFB for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) and the City of Tampa's ITB for medical aid supplies are both materially unrelated to salicylic acid procurement. The Austin solicitation addresses chemical treatment for wastewater phosphorus removal at municipal treatment facilities, requiring NSF-approved unpackaged liquid at 47–49% concentration in bulk delivery volumes of approximately 179,200 gallons annually. The Tampa solicitation covers first aid and medical supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, and pain relievers for fire rescue operations. Neither scope matches the nominal commodity category.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to salicylic acid as a standalone chemical or pharmaceutical ingredient. Water and wastewater treatment departments remain active procurers of chemical treatment agents, and municipal fire and emergency services do solicit medical supplies regularly, but the current opportunities posted under this code do not reflect salicylic acid purchasing. Vendors targeting state and local agencies seeking salicylic acid — whether for pharmaceutical formulation, skincare product manufacturing, industrial chemical applications, or other uses — should monitor procurement platforms directly for relevant solicitations rather than rely on activity under this code classification.
