UNSPSC 51241815 Balsam peru/castor oil/trypsin is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The two opportunities tagged under this code procure liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment and medical first aid supplies — neither of which matches the code's nominal scope of natural pharmaceutical or medicinal oils and enzymatic compounds. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting balsam peru, castor oil, or trypsin preparations under this code at present.

The City of Austin issued an IFB on July 27, 2026 for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) used in phosphorus removal at its wastewater treatment facility, with bids due August 25, 2026, and the City of Tampa issued an ITB on April 24, 2026 for medical aid supplies including bandages, antiseptic sprays, and first aid kits for its Fire Rescue Department. These represent the full set of recent opportunities the source identifies under the code. The mismatch between the code's abstract name and the work actually being procured suggests either a classification error in the source data or dormant procurement activity under the intended commodity scope. Firms pursuing this code should verify current classification with specific issuing bodies before bid preparation.
