UNSPSC 51241200: Dermatologic agents

This classification denotes drugs used to treat or prevent skin disorders or for the routine care of skin.

UNSPSC 51241200 Dermatologic agents, a Class code, encompasses chemical treatment products for water and wastewater processes, as well as medical aid and first aid supplies procured by state and local governments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show a divergence between the nominal taxonomy label and actual buying patterns: the City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 solicits liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment, while the City of Tampa's Fire Rescue Department ITB 25-P-00157 requests first aid and medical supply items including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, and bandages. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal departments — water utilities and fire rescue services — using the code to tag infrastructure chemicals and occupational health consumables rather than dermatological pharmaceuticals. Procurement vehicle types include both IFBs and ITBs, with pricing models ranging from firm unit pricing adjusted annually (Austin) to line-item bidding with potential multi-year renewals (Tampa).

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas municipalities. The City of Austin's August 25, 2026 due date for alum supply reflects routine wastewater operations requiring 179,200 gallons annually, with local and small business preference discounts of 5% and 3% available and bidders required to demonstrate NSF approval, AWWA B403 standards compliance, and current municipal references. The City of Tampa's April 9, 2025 due date—now closed—covered a $100,000 annual medical supplies budget with set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises offering 5% bid discounts capped at $10,000 and $20,000 respectively. No recent opportunities from other states or issuing-body types appear in the source, suggesting limited current activity under this code outside these two Texas jurisdictions.
