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 51241608 Coal tar/lanolin/mineral oil is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal classification. The single relevant recent opportunity involves liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment chemical dosing, a product chemically distinct from the code's stated scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code procure chemical treatment inputs for municipal water and wastewater systems — specifically, coagulants and settling agents used in phosphorus removal and activated sludge processes. The City of Austin Water's IFB for liquid aluminum sulfate represents the kind of recurring municipal utility procurement that falls nominally under this Commodity tier, though the chemical composition and application diverge substantially from coal tar, lanolin, and mineral oil formulations.

The issuing bodies using this code include municipal utilities and fire-rescue departments, though the fire-rescue opportunity cited (Tampa Fire Rescue medical supplies) is plainly unrelated to the code's chemical scope and suggests categorical tagging inconsistency rather than genuine Commodity alignment. The City of Austin posted IFB 2200 CSH1061 for liquid aluminum sulfate on July 27, 2026, with bids due August 25, 2026, requiring NSF-approved 47%–49% concentration alum, 179,200 gallons estimated annually, FOB destination delivery within 500 miles of Austin, with local and small business preference discounts (5% and 3% respectively) available. Texas and Florida have posted the recent opportunities identified; however, the chemical treatment solicitation dominates activity under this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement warrants close review of how your firm's product lines map to the soliciting agency's technical requirements rather than relying on UNSPSC classification alone.
