UNSPSC 51241813 Bacitracin/lidocaine/neomycin/polymyxin is a Commodity code that captures topical antibiotic ointments and first-aid wound treatments procured by state and local health and safety agencies. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code diverge significantly from its nominal scope: the City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 solicits liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment, and the City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 seeks medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, and emergency blankets for the Fire Rescue Department. The Tampa solicitation aligns more closely with first-aid and wound-care supplies, though neither opportunity specifically names the bacitracin/lidocaine/neomycin/polymyxin combination product that defines the code. Issuing bodies on record include municipal purchasing offices (City of Austin, City of Tampa), with the Tampa Fire Rescue Department as the using agency. No state departments or school districts appear in the recent activity block.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida based on the two posted opportunities. The City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 closed April 9, 2025 with an estimated annual budget of $100,000 and set-aside provisions for Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises offering up to 5% bid discounts (capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs). The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061, due August 25, 2026, applies a 5% local business discount on bids up to $500,000 and 3% on larger bids, with estimated annual volume of 179,200 gallons of liquid aluminum sulfate. The code shows minimal recent activity closely matching its stated commodity scope; bidders should verify whether opportunities tagged to this code are actually requesting topical antibiotic formulations or are misclassified.
