UNSPSC 51241236 Ammonium bituminosulfonate or ichthyol or ichthammol is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal alignment with its nominal chemical scope. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157, posted April 24, 2026 and due April 9, 2025, tags a broad medical aid supplies procurement under this code—covering antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets—but the opportunity is a general first-aid and emergency medical inventory replenishment rather than a specialized procurement of ammonium bituminosulfonate, ichthyol, or ichthammol compounds. The mismatch suggests this code may be receiving incidental tagging for medical supply categories that fall outside its intended chemical product definition, or the code is used inconsistently within Tampa's procurement system for topical antiseptics and wound-care compounds more broadly.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department represents the only recent state and local opportunity visible under this code. The ITB structure allows award by aggregate total or individual line items, anticipates a one-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals, and establishes a $100,000 departmental budget. The solicitation includes a 5% bid discount set-aside for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), with discounts capped at $10,000 and $20,000 respectively, targeting underutilized businesses owned by African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and women owners. All medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance. The code shows no broad geographic activity or multiple issuing bodies in current state and local procurement records.
