UNSPSC 51241247 Mesulfen or mesulphen is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical antiseptic and medicinal preparations purchased by state and local emergency response agencies and public health departments. The recent solicitation record shows state and local governments acquiring a broad range of first-aid and emergency medical supplies — antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, aspirin, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets — rather than mesulfen specifically. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department represents the primary issuing body visible in recent activity, procuring these supplies through standing medical aid supply contracts that blend commodity purchases with vendor certification and local preference programs.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue posted ITB 25P00157 for medical aid supplies on April 24, 2026, with a bid opening date of April 9, 2025, under a total department budget of $100,000 and covering 32 line items with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item. The solicitation emphasizes City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering a 5% bid discount on the total bid amount, capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs, targeting underutilized businesses owned by African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and Women business owners. Vendors must meet a minimum nine-month expiration date on all medications from date of acceptance and submit documentation including business licenses, minority business status disclosures, and criminal history screening practices. The contract anticipates an initial one-year award period with potential for two additional one-year renewals. Recent activity is limited to this single Tampa opportunity; the code shows little broader state or local procurement volume across other jurisdictions at this time.
