UNSPSC 51241302 Hamamelis or witch hazel is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity. The most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) used in municipal wastewater treatment and for medical aid supplies including bandages, antiseptic sprays, and first aid kits — neither of which aligns with hamamelis or witch hazel products. The code's nominal scope (botanical extracts for topical use) does not match the municipal chemical and medical supply procurements currently tagged under it, suggesting either data-mapping errors or dormant demand for witch hazel among state and local buyers.

The City of Austin and the City of Tampa are the only issuing bodies with recent postings. Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 (posted July 27, 2026, due August 25, 2026) sought 179,200 gallons annually of NSF-approved liquid aluminum sulfate at 47%–49% concentration for phosphorus removal at its wastewater treatment facility, with local and small business preferences available. Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 (posted April 24, 2026, due April 9, 2025) targeted 32 line items of medical and first aid supplies for its Fire Rescue Department with a $100,000 annual budget and set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises. Neither opportunity represents genuine demand for witch hazel products. Absent evidence of actual state and local solicitations for hamamelis or witch hazel itself, the code appears inactive for procurement purposes under its stated scope.
