UNSPSC 51241205 Calamine is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical and medical preparations used in emergency response and first-aid settings. State and local governments purchase calamine and related topical remedies as part of broader medical aid supply procurements for fire rescue departments, emergency medical services, and first-responder units. The code sits within a larger ecosystem of medical supply acquisition where jurisdictions source antiseptic sprays, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets alongside specific pharmaceutical items. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal fire rescue departments and emergency service divisions, which typically aggregate medical supply needs into single procurements to optimize inventory management and vendor relationships. The scope reflects practical purchasing for field use — products must meet shelf-life requirements (often nine-month minimum expiration dates from acceptance) and comply with local ordinances and emergency-response standards.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25P00157 on April 24, 2026, seeking medical aid supplies including calamine and 31 related items with an annual budget of $100,000 and response deadline of April 9, 2025. The procurement offers set-aside pricing for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), with bid discounts up to $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. The contract awards an initial one-year term with options for two additional one-year renewals. No other recent opportunities are present in the source block, indicating limited recent activity under this specific commodity code in the state and local market.
