UNSPSC 51241256 Becaplermin is a Commodity code for a specific pharmaceutical product — a growth factor used topically to promote wound healing — but the single recent state and local opportunity tagged to this code shows no procurement of becaplermin itself. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157, posted April 24, 2026 with a bid opening of April 9, 2025, solicits a broad range of medical aid and first aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets across 32 line items with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units. The estimated total budget is $100,000 with an initial one-year award and two optional one-year renewals. The solicitation carries set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) offering a 5% bid discount capped at $10,000, and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs) with a 5% discount capped at $20,000. All medications must have a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance. This code shows minimal relevant recent activity; the Tampa opportunity appears to be misclassified under the becaplermin code despite procuring general first aid supplies rather than the specialty wound-healing pharmaceutical the code nominally covers.
