UNSPSC 51241408 Alcohol/salicylic acid is a Commodity code that encompasses chemical treatment agents and medical supply items used by state and local government agencies, though recent solicitations show limited alignment with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments are soliciting under this code for water treatment chemicals and first aid supplies. The City of Austin Water posted IFB 2200 CSH1061 in July 2026 for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) — an unpackaged chemical at 47–49% concentration used to remove soluble phosphorus from wastewater treatment streams at the end of the activated sludge process, with an estimated annual demand of 179,200 gallons. The product must meet NSF approval and AWWA B403 standards, and bidders must maintain minimum inventory of 9,000 gallons at each distribution location and identify a primary facility within 500 miles of Austin plus an alternate. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue posted ITB 25-P-00157 in April 2026 for medical aid supplies covering 32 items including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, and emergency blankets, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item and a total department budget of $100,000.

Recent activity is sparse and geographically limited. The Austin IFB closed August 25, 2026, with local business and small business preference discounts of 5% on bids under $500,000 and 3% on larger awards, and required documentation includes three current municipal wastewater treatment references from Texas facilities, NSF approval proof, and a Certificate of Analysis. The Tampa ITB scheduled a bid opening for April 9, 2025, and reserved set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises offering bid discounts not to exceed $10,000 and $20,000 respectively. Both solicitations reflect isolated, jurisdiction-specific demand rather than sustained buying patterns under the code; the code shows little relevant recent activity beyond these two opportunities.
