UNSPSC 51241603: Allantoin/coal tar

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 DE820. This VA Drug Class (DE820) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIPSORIATICS, TOPICAL.

UNSPSC 51241603 Allantoin/coal tar is a Commodity code that covers pharmaceutical and medical topical products, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct demand under this specific code designation. The single recent opportunity captured here—City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies—frames a broader procurement of first aid and emergency medical items including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, pain relievers, and emergency blankets rather than allantoin or coal-tar products specifically. The scope suggests state and local fire and rescue departments drive activity under related medical-supply codes, though the Tampa solicitation's actual product list does not align cleanly with the allantoin/coal tar commodity classification, signaling either a tagging mismatch or minimal current procurement demand for this specific ingredient class.

City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued the primary recent opportunity as an ITB with a bid opening date of April 9, 2025 and an estimated annual budget of $100,000. The procurement targets a one-year initial award with two optional one-year renewals and includes set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering a 5% bid discount on total bid amount capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. Vendors must submit electronically through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal and provide documentation including business licenses, minority business certification, conflict-of-interest disclosures, and criminal history screening practices. All medications require a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance. Activity under this code appears limited to Florida jurisdictions at present, with no standout repeat buyers identified in recent opportunities.
