UNSPSC 51173002: Benzocaine/camphor/ephedrine/zinc oxide

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class RS201. This VA Drug Class (RS201) classifies this compound as belonging to the group HEMORRHOIDAL PREPARATIONS WITHOUT STEROID.

UNSPSC 51173002 Benzocaine/camphor/ephedrine/zinc oxide is a Commodity code with limited recent relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — pharmaceutical and topical compounds — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it in the source data. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 solicits liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment phosphorus removal, and the City of Tampa Fire Rescue's ITB 25-P-00157 solicits general medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, and bandages. Neither opportunity involves the specific formulations named in the code. The Tampa procurement does include first aid and emergency medical supplies typical of fire rescue departments, but the recent opportunities do not demonstrate active state and local procurement under the Benzocaine/camphor/ephedrine/zinc oxide code itself.

State and local activity under this code is sparse enough that geographic patterns and issuing-body concentration cannot be reliably characterized from the source data. No dedicated opportunities explicitly soliciting the compounds named in the code appear in the recent record. Firms pursuing this code should monitor for future activity from state health departments, municipalities, school districts, and regional transit authorities that typically procure topical antiseptics and first aid compounds, but current signals suggest limited near-term opportunity flow.
