UNSPSC 51241218 Selenium disulfide is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses medical and first aid supply items procured by emergency response and public safety departments. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157, posted April 24, 2026, solicits a range of medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets with estimated annual quantities per item ranging from 1 to 2,700 units. This procurement, with a total department budget of $100,000, reflects what fire and rescue departments actually buy under this code—practical consumable medical supplies for emergency response operations rather than the narrow pharmaceutical definition the code name suggests. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal fire and rescue departments operating their own procurement functions.

The City of Tampa represents recent activity in Florida. The ITB 25-P-00157 was due April 9, 2025, and includes set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering 5% bid discounts capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. Vendors must provide business licenses, minority business status documentation, conflict of interest disclosures, and criminal history screening practices. All medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and the City reserves the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items. The procurement anticipates an initial one-year award period with potential for two additional one-year renewals.
