UNSPSC 51241249: Monobenzone

This classification denotes a hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C13H12O2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 9L2KA76MG5, chemically known as phenol, p-(benzyloxy)- but generally known as monobenzone, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 7638. European Medicines Agency schedules Monobenzone in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09049MIG.

UNSPSC 51241249 Monobenzone is a Commodity code that encompasses topical depigmentation agents used in medical and dermatological settings, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the nominal product scope. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's April 2026 ITB for medical aid supplies (ITB 25-P-00157) was tagged under this code but requests a broad inventory of first aid and emergency medical items — antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, aspirin, pain relievers, first aid kits, and emergency blankets — none of which are monobenzone products. The work being solicited reflects standard fire and rescue emergency preparedness stocking rather than dermatological treatments, suggesting either a cataloging mismatch or minimal recent activity in the actual monobenzone pharmaceutical market at the state and local level.

The Tampa Fire Rescue solicitation represents the available recent activity under the code. The procurement was an ITB with an April 9, 2025 response deadline (note: this deadline predates the current date of July 20, 2026), a one-year initial award with two optional one-year renewals, and a total departmental budget of $100,000. The City offered a 5% bid discount for certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises, with discounts capped at $10,000 and $20,000 respectively. No additional state or local opportunities under this code appear in recent records, indicating that monobenzone procurement from state and local health departments, correctional systems, dermatology clinics, or other institutional buyers is either sporadic or not presently tagged to this UNSPSC code in publicly searchable databases.
