UNSPSC 51241222 Dimethicone is a Commodity code covering specialized skincare and medical-use silicone compounds that state and local governments procure primarily through emergency response and healthcare supply chains. The Tampa Fire Rescue Department's recent Medical Aid Supplies solicitation, while tagged to this code, reflects broader first-aid and emergency medical supply acquisition rather than dimethicone-specific purchasing; the ITB covers antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets across a $100,000 annual budget with renewal options, suggesting the code may capture dimethicone products bundled within larger medical supply tenders rather than standalone demand.

The issuing body in the available record is a municipal fire-rescue department (City of Tampa), which represents the most common state and local buyer for medical supply categories at this tier. Tampa's procurement structure includes set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering a 5% bid discount capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. The ITB (Invitation to Bid) closed April 9, 2025, with an initial one-year contract term and two optional one-year renewals. Geographic activity is limited in the source to Florida, specifically the Tampa area. The sparse recent-opportunity record suggests dimethicone may see limited standalone demand in state and local procurement, or the code may be underutilized as a tag relative to actual purchasing patterns in medical and first-responder supply categories.
