UNSPSC 51241414: Benzoyl peroxide/hydrocortisone

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 51241414 Benzoyl peroxide/hydrocortisone is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear no relation to its nominal scope. The City of Austin solicited liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment under IFB2200CSH1061 due August 25, 2026, and the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department solicited medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, and bandages under ITB 25-P-00157 due April 9, 2025. Neither opportunity involves benzoyl peroxide or hydrocortisone products as the code name suggests. The mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code has drifted from its original intent in actual purchasing practice.

The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated pharmaceutical scope. Vendors pursuing opportunities in topical acne treatment or corticosteroid-containing pharmaceutical combinations should expect procurement tagging inconsistency and should search for opportunities using broader pharmaceutical or medical supply codes rather than relying on this commodity code's title. The two posted opportunities — one for chemical treatment agents and one for first aid consumables — do not signal demand for the specific products named in UNSPSC 51241414.
