UNSPSC 51241245 Lithium succinate is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not align with what governments are actually buying. The most recent posted opportunities under this code tag procurements for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment and medical aid supplies for fire rescue operations — neither of which are lithium succinate products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either tagging error or that lithium succinate itself sees minimal state and local procurement activity. Where procurements have been tagged to this code, they span water utilities and emergency services, with issuing bodies including city utilities departments and municipal fire rescue agencies.

The two recent opportunities posted under this code originated in Texas and Florida. The City of Austin issued an IFB (IFB 2200 CSH1061) on July 27, 2026, for liquid aluminum sulfate delivery to Austin Water's wastewater treatment facility, with bids due August 25, 2026, and the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued an ITB (25-P-00157) on April 24, 2026, for medical aid supplies with a bid opening originally scheduled for April 9, 2025. The Austin opportunity includes local business and small business preference discounts (5% for local and small business combined on bids up to $500,000) and requires NSF approval and AWWA B403 compliance; the Tampa opportunity includes set-asides and bid discounts for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (5% discount capped at $10,000 for SLBEs, $20,000 for U-WMBEs) with a total department budget of $100,000. This code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors evaluating opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 51241245 should verify the actual product scope with issuing bodies before pursuing.
