UNSPSC 51241607: Coal tar/lactic acid/salicylic acid

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 51241607 Coal tar/lactic acid/salicylic acid is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under it does not align with the code's nominal scope. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25-P-00157 in April 2026 for medical aid supplies — antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets — a procurement that appears to reflect general first aid and emergency medical consumables rather than the specialty pharmaceutical ingredients the code name suggests. The solicitation covers 32 line items with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item and a total departmental budget of $100,000. All medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance. The City reserves the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items and anticipates an initial one-year term with two optional one-year renewals.

The Tampa solicitation is the primary recent state and local opportunity identified under this code. Issuing bodies soliciting under it include municipal fire and rescue departments. The procurement includes set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) with a 5% bid discount capped at $10,000, and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs) with discounts capped at $20,000. The City has compiled a contact list of eleven certified minority and small local business enterprises. Bidders must submit a Letter of Intent within ten work days of bid opening and provide subcontract agreements or purchase orders before engaging WMBE or SLBE subcontractors. The mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical focus and the actual procurement suggests this code sees limited relevant activity in recent state and local contracting.
