UNSPSC 51241413: Benzoyl peroxide/erythromycin

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE752. This VA Drug Class (DE752) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIACNE AGENTS, TOPICAL.

UNSPSC 51241413 Benzoyl peroxide/erythromycin (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's name refers to a pharmaceutical combination product used in dermatology, but the only recent opportunities tagged to it are for chemical treatment supplies unrelated to that drug — specifically, liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment and general medical aid supplies for fire rescue departments. The code shows little recent relevant activity aligned with its stated pharmaceutical scope.

The City of Austin issued IFB 2200 CSH1061 on July 27, 2026, seeking bids on liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for phosphorus removal at its wastewater treatment facility, with responses due August 25, 2026; the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued ITB 25-P-00157 on April 24, 2026, for a range of first aid and medical supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, and bandages. Neither opportunity aligns with benzoyl peroxide/erythromycin procurement. Business development professionals should verify the actual commodity codes under which state and local governments are sourcing acne treatment pharmaceuticals; the assignment of this code to wastewater chemicals and general first aid supplies suggests either tagging errors in the issuing bodies' systems or that the code has been repurposed in practice for broader chemical and medical supply categories unrelated to its UNSPSC definition.
