UNSPSC 51241600: Combination antipsoriatics

This classification denotes combination drugs that treat a genetically-determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches, a disorder called Psoriasis, hence the term ANTIPSORIATICS. Typical combination antipsoriatic constituents are alcohol, allantoin, ammoniated mercury, betamethasone, clioquinol, and coal tar.

UNSPSC 51241600 Combination antipsoriatics is a Class code that in state and local procurement practice covers a narrow range of dermatological treatments, though the recent activity indexed under this code does not reflect that scope. The City of Tampa's Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25-P-00157 on April 24, 2026, for medical aid supplies—a procurement nominally classified under this code but materially covering first aid and emergency medical consumables including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets rather than antipsoriatic pharmaceutical compounds. The solicitation targets an estimated annual spend of up to $100,000 across 32 line items with quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item, with an initial one-year award period and two potential one-year renewals. Medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and the City reserves the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items. The procurement is directed toward first responder and emergency medical readiness rather than dermatological therapeutics.

The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement, with the Tampa Fire Rescue opportunity representing the primary indexed solicitation. The City of Tampa's ITB includes set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) with a 5% bid discount capped at $10,000 and for Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs) with a 5% discount capped at $20,000, targeting African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and women-owned businesses. Bidders must submit electronically through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal with evaluation criteria including product quality, vendor responsibility, and compliance with local ordinances. The mismatch between the code's antipsoriatic classification and the actual medical aid supplies being solicited signals either a data-entry error in state and local procurement systems or a systematic miscoding of emergency medical consumables under pharmaceutical taxonomy—a pattern worth monitoring if pursuing government medical supply categories more broadly.
