UNSPSC 51173000: Combination hemorrhoidal preparations

This classification denotes combination drugs and preparations that treat or alleviate symptoms of swollen veins in the lower part of the rectum or anus. Typical combination hemorrhoidal preparation constituents are ismuth, bismuth subgallate, boric acid, camphor, ephedrine, hydrocortisone, lidocaine, pramoxine, and zinc oxide.

UNSPSC 51173000 Combination hemorrhoidal preparations is a Class code that in practice encompasses a broader range of medical and first aid supply items state and local governments actually procure — not hemorrhoidal products specifically, but rather emergency medical and first aid consumables including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets. Fire rescue departments and emergency services are the primary buyers. The solicitation structure typically allows issuing bodies to award by individual line item or aggregate total, with contract terms of one year plus optional renewals. Expiration-date requirements and compliance documentation are standard — products must meet minimum shelf-life thresholds before acceptance.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25P00157 in April 2026 for medical aid supplies across 32 line items with an estimated annual budget of $100,000 and quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item. The solicitation included set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises, offering bid discounts up to $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WBMEs. Electronic submission through OpenGov eProcurement Portal was required, and the initial award period anticipated two optional one-year renewals. The recent activity shows modest solicitation volume and appears concentrated in Florida, though the single posted opportunity limits characterization of broader geographic or issuing-body patterns under this code.
