UNSPSC 51173003: Benzyl benzoate/bismuth/calcium/coconut oil/vegetable oil/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 51173003 Benzyl benzoate/bismuth/calcium/coconut oil/vegetable oil/zinc oxide is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with its nominal scope. The most recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not reflect the chemical compounds listed in the code name. Instead, the City of Austin posted IFB2200CSH1061 for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) used in wastewater treatment phosphorus removal, and the City of Tampa posted ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, bandages, and first aid kits. The mismatch between the code's stated chemical composition and the actual products being procured suggests either miscoding in the issuing bodies' systems or a data integrity issue that limits the code's utility for forecasting genuine demand in benzyl benzoate and related compounds used in pharmaceutical or cosmetic formulations.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida based on the recent postings. The Austin Water opportunity, posted July 27, 2026 with an August 25, 2026 response deadline, is the only solicitation substantively related to industrial chemical procurement; it calls for 179,200 gallons annually of NSF-approved liquid aluminum sulfate at 47–49% concentration, with firm unit pricing for 12 months and local and small business preference discounts available. The Tampa Fire Rescue solicitation, posted April 24, 2026, is unrelated to the code's nominal scope and does not inform chemical suppliers' strategy. Firms evaluating this code should treat recent activity as a poor signal of demand for the compounds the code nominally covers and investigate whether state and local procurement systems are systematically miscoding purchases of benzyl benzoate and related chemical commodities, or whether actual demand for these specific compounds under this Commodity code has fallen to near zero.
