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, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no solicitation activity actually aligned with allantoin or coal tar products. Instead, the code has captured two unrelated procurements: liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment chemistry and medical aid supplies for fire rescue departments. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code outside its nominal scope. Water and wastewater utilities and city fire departments are the issuing bodies present in the recent record, but their actual needs — treatment chemicals and first aid materials — fall outside the allantoin/coal tar commodity family.

The two recent opportunities show no clear geographic clustering. The City of Austin posted an IFB (2200CSH1061, due August 25, 2026) for 179,200 gallons annually of liquid aluminum sulfate at 47%–49% concentration for phosphorus removal in the activated sludge process, with local and small business preference discounts of up to 5% available, manufacturer or authorized dealer status required, and NSF approval and AWWA B403 compliance mandated. The City of Tampa's Fire Rescue Department posted an ITB (25-P-00157, due April 9, 2025) for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, and bandages across 32 line items, with a $100,000 departmental budget and set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises offering discounts up to 5%. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms targeting allantoin or coal tar supply.
