UNSPSC 51241237: Benzoyl peroxide

This classification denotes an anti-infective agent with the molecular formula C14H10O4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier W9WZN9A0GM, chemically known as peroxide, dibenzoyl but generally known as benzoyl peroxide, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 7187. European Medicines Agency schedules Benzoyl peroxide in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB13020MIG. World Health Organization schedules benzoyl peroxide in its Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification.

Most nations schedule benzoyl peroxide under HS 29163200 and SITC 51379. As of Q4 2014, BENZOYL PEROXIDE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. Benzoyl peroxide bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0005088 and NCI Concept Code C47411. SMILES: C1=CC=C(C=C1)C(=O)OOC(=O)C2=CC=CC=C2.

UNSPSC 51241237 Benzoyl peroxide, a Commodity code, nominally covers chemical disinfectant and sterilizing agents used in sanitation and medical applications. However, recent state and local solicitations under this code do not reflect the benzoyl peroxide product category; instead, they span liquid chemical treatment agents for municipal infrastructure and first-aid supplies for fire rescue operations. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity — the two posted opportunities (City of Austin's wastewater treatment chemical procurement and City of Tampa's fire rescue medical aid supplies) diverge substantially from the code's stated scope and do not represent active benzoyl peroxide procurement at the state and local level.

Geographic activity appears limited to Texas and Florida based on the recent record. The City of Austin (Texas) posted IFB 2200CSH1061 on July 27, 2026 seeking liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater phosphorus removal, with bids due August 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM CT, and the City of Tampa (Florida) posted ITB 25-P-00157 on April 24, 2026 seeking medical aid supplies including first-aid kits and antiseptic products, with bid opening scheduled for April 9, 2025. Neither solicitation directly aligns with benzoyl peroxide procurement, suggesting the code may be misaligned with current state and local buying patterns or is used infrequently across these jurisdictions. Firms pursuing benzoyl peroxide sales to state and local entities should verify actual code assignment with individual issuing bodies, as recent opportunities demonstrate substantial tagging mismatches.
