UNSPSC 51241258: 4-aminobenzoic acid or Aminobenzoic acid or PABA or para-aminobenzoic acid

This classification denotes a dermatologic agent and sunscreen with the molecular formula C7H7NO2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier TL2TJE8QTX, chemically known as 4-aminobenzoic acid but generally known as Aminobenzoic acid, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 978. European Medicines Agency schedules Para-aminobenzoic in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB21105.

World Health Organization schedules aminobenzoic acid in its Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification. SMILES: C1=CC(=CC=C1C(=O)O)N.

UNSPSC 51241258 4-aminobenzoic acid (para-aminobenzoic acid, PABA), a Commodity code, shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two opportunities posted under this code in the source are unrelated to the chemical compound itself: one solicits liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment and the other requests medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays and first aid items. Neither represents procurement of 4-aminobenzoic acid or a close derivative, suggesting either a data classification error or minimal legitimate demand for this specific chemical across state and local jurisdictions.

The mismatch between the code's nominal product and the actual solicitations limits visibility into genuine market activity for 4-aminobenzoic acid in state and local procurement. Vendors pursuing contracts under this code should verify the intended commodity with issuing bodies before bid preparation, as the recent record provides no reliable signal of current demand patterns, issuing-body concentration, or geographic hotspots for this particular chemical.
