UNSPSC 51241207 Topical coal tar preparations is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of medical and first aid supply procurement by state and local fire, rescue, and emergency-response agencies. Recent activity shows state and local governments buying medical aid supplies—antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets—through this code, often bundled with other health and safety consumables for emergency-response departments. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal fire and rescue departments; the recent record shows the City of Tampa's Fire Rescue Department as a buyer.

The geographic activity on record is limited to Florida. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25P00157 for medical aid supplies on April 24, 2026, with a bid opening date of April 9, 2025 (note: the posted date postdates the opening date in the source), requesting 32 medical and first aid supply items with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item and a total department budget of $100,000. The procurement offers set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises, with bid discounts of 5% (capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs). Awards are anticipated on a one-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals, and all medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance.
