UNSPSC 51241814 Bacitracin/lidocaine/polymyxin b is a Commodity code representing topical antibiotic ointments and sprays procured by state and local fire, rescue, and emergency medical services departments. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's April 2026 ITB for medical aid supplies illustrates the code's practical application: the solicitation encompasses a 32-item medical and first-aid supply package including antiseptic sprays, first aid kits, and emergency blankets, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per line item and a total department budget of $100,000. Issuing bodies under this code are typically municipal fire and rescue departments and emergency medical services agencies that maintain standing inventories of first-aid and emergency treatment supplies for field personnel.

Tampa's solicitation reflects the geographic and procurement pattern for this code: activity is driven by municipal public-safety departments in urban jurisdictions. The ITB specifies an initial one-year award with two optional renewals and includes set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), with bid discounts of up to $10,000 for SLBEs and up to $20,000 for U-WMBEs. Vendors must demonstrate product quality, financial responsibility, compliance with local ordinances, and maintain minimum nine-month expiration dates from acceptance. Electronic submission through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal is required, and bidders must provide business licenses, minority business status certifications, conflict-of-interest disclosures, and criminal history screening practices documentation. The procurement reserves the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items, allowing flexibility in vendor selection.
