UNSPSC 51241601 Coal tar/menthol/salicylic acid is a Commodity code that in practice covers medical and first aid supply items that state and local government procurement offices acquire for emergency response, public health, and occupational safety programs. The scope includes antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, emergency blankets, and similar consumable medical supplies. Fire rescue departments, public health agencies, and other municipal service organizations issue ITBs and RFPs for these products on a routine basis to stock emergency response kits and maintain compliance with occupational safety standards. Solicitations typically include set-aside provisions for small local business enterprises (SLBEs) and underutilized minority and women-owned business enterprises (U-WMBEs), with bid discounts capped at fixed amounts to encourage local supplier participation.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25P00157 on April 24, 2026 to procure a comprehensive list of 32 medical and first aid supply items with an estimated annual budget of $100,000 and a response deadline of April 9, 2025. The solicitation offered a 5% bid discount for SLBE and U-WMBE vendors, with discounts capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs, and anticipated an initial one-year award period with two optional one-year renewals. All medications required a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and the City reserved the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items. The recent-opportunities block contains only this single solicitation, limiting visibility into the broader geographic distribution and issuing-body mix under the code.
