UNSPSC 51241803 Allantoin/camphor/phenol is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity does not align with its nominal scope. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code show state and local governments procuring chemical treatment supplies for municipal operations — specifically, liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment and medical aid supplies for fire rescue — rather than the pharmaceutical or cosmetic actives the code name suggests. State and local issuing bodies using this code include water utilities (City of Austin Water), fire departments (City of Tampa Fire Rescue), and municipal procurement offices. The work being solicited ranges from bulk chemical procurement with firm unit pricing, strict concentration and purity specifications, and multi-location distribution requirements, to standardized medical supply bundles with expiration-date controls and local set-asides for small and minority-owned businesses.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Texas, with the City of Austin posting an Invitation for Bid (IFB 2200 CSH1061) for 179,200 gallons of liquid aluminum sulfate annually, due August 25, 2026, that requires NSF approval, AWWA B403 compliance, three municipal references from Texas facilities, and a primary distribution facility within 500 miles of Austin, with local and small business preference discounts of 5% and 3% available. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue posted an ITB (25-P-00157) for medical aid supplies covering 32 items with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units and a department budget of $100,000, though the due date in that record (April 9, 2025) predates the posting date and is likely a data error. Mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical/cosmetic framing and the actual municipal chemical and medical supply procurement suggests either data-entry error or loose tagging practice in the source jurisdictions; the code shows limited recent activity aligned to its stated scope.
