UNSPSC 51241609: Coal tar/lauramide dea/sodium lauryl sulfate

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 51241609 Coal tar/lauramide dea/sodium lauryl sulfate (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The single recent state and local opportunity posted under this code is the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies, which solicits antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets. The procurement does not align with the code's chemical surfactant nomenclature and appears to reflect a misclassification in the originating system. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual work being solicited suggests limited or irregular use of this Commodity code in state and local purchasing.

The Tampa Fire Rescue solicitation, with a total department budget of $100,000 and a bid opening date of April 9, 2025, includes set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering up to 5% bid discounts capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. Vendors must submit electronically through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal and provide a Letter of Intent within ten work days of bid opening, with all medications requiring a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance. Geographic activity is limited to Florida, and no other state or local jurisdictions appear in the recent record under this code. The absence of broader or repeated procurement activity under this Commodity code suggests it is not a priority tracking area for business development purposes.
