UNSPSC 51241229: Saliva substitute solution

This classification denotes preparations designed to lubricate the mouth, or to remedy dryness thereof.

UNSPSC 51241229 Saliva substitute solution is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a narrow range of oral care products state and local governments procure for health care and emergency medical settings. Recent solicitations show this code being applied to medical supply bundles that include saliva substitutes alongside broader first aid and emergency response inventory — antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, bandages, and emergency blankets. The issuing bodies so far consist of municipal fire and rescue departments; the one recent opportunity on file comes from the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department, suggesting that this code activity clusters within municipal emergency services procurement rather than spanning counties, school districts, or transit authorities.

Geographic activity is limited to Florida based on the available record. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25P00157 on April 24, 2026, with a bid opening date of April 9, 2025, for medical aid supplies across a 32-item list with an estimated annual budget of $100,000 and a one-year initial award period plus two optional one-year renewals. The solicitation includes set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering up to a 5% bid discount capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. All medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and bidders must submit documentation of business licenses, minority business status, and conflict of interest disclosures through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal.
