UNSPSC 51241816 Balsam peru/trypsin is a Commodity code showing a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The two opportunities currently tagged to this code involve liquid aluminum sulfate for municipal wastewater treatment and medical aid supplies for fire rescue services — neither of which relates to balsam peru or trypsin products. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity scope.

The City of Austin posted IFB 2200 CSH1061 on July 27, 2026, requesting bids on unpackaged liquid aluminum sulfate at 47–49% concentration for phosphorus removal at its wastewater treatment facility, with an estimated annual requirement of 179,200 gallons and a response deadline of August 25, 2026. The City of Tampa posted ITB 25-P-00157 in April 2026 seeking medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets for the Fire Rescue Department, with an original response deadline of April 9, 2025 and a department budget of $100,000. Both opportunities reflect municipal issuing bodies; Austin offered local and small business preference discounts, while Tampa's solicitation included set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises with bid discounts up to $20,000. Given the absence of opportunities genuinely procuring balsam peru or trypsin products, this code does not present a current market signal for those commodities under state and local procurement.
