UNSPSC 51241414 Benzoyl peroxide/hydrocortisone is a Commodity code that captures pharmaceutical and topical medical supplies procured by state and local fire and rescue departments for field use and emergency response. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects demand for broad first aid and medical supply inventories—including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets—rather than the single-ingredient focus the code name suggests. Fire rescue departments are the primary issuing bodies, procuring these supplies in bulk to support frontline personnel and emergency medical operations. Contracts typically span one-year initial terms with renewal options and carry evaluation criteria centered on product quality, vendor responsibility, and compliance with local ordinances.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies on April 24, 2026, with a bid opening scheduled for April 9, 2025, seeking 32 distinct items with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units and a total departmental budget of $100,000. The procurement includes set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering up to a 5% bid discount (not to exceed $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs). Vendors must meet minimum expiration-date requirements (nine months from acceptance) and comply with local ordinances, providing documentation of business licensing, minority business status, conflict of interest disclosures, and criminal history screening practices. Awards may be made by aggregate total or individual line items, with subcontractor agreements required before work with WMBE/SLBE partners commences.
