UNSPSC 51241606 Clioquinol/coal tar/hydrocortisone is a Commodity code whose recent state and local solicitation activity shows minimal connection to its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code are a liquid aluminum sulfate supply contract for wastewater treatment and a medical aid supplies bid for fire rescue — neither of which aligns with the dermatological pharmaceutical products the code purports to cover. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a gap between the taxonomy and actual procurement practice at the municipal level.

The City of Austin posted IFB 2200 CSH1061 on July 27, 2026, requesting unpackaged liquid aluminum sulfate at 47–49% concentration for phosphorus removal at its wastewater treatment facility, with bids due August 25, 2026. The City of Tampa's Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25-P-00157 on April 24, 2026, for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, bandages, and emergency blankets, with a bid opening originally scheduled for April 9, 2025 (an apparent date error in the source). Austin's local business and small business preference discounts apply up to 5% for qualifying vendors; Tampa's procurement reserves set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises, offering up to 5% discount for SLBEs and up to $20,000 for U-WMBEs. The code shows activity primarily in Texas and Florida, but the underlying category shows little relevant recent activity and does not reliably indicate state and local demand for clioquinol, coal tar, or hydrocortisone products.
