UNSPSC 51241817 Bentonite magma/calamine/calcium hydroxide/glycerin/zinc oxide is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure first aid and medical aid supply items, including topical treatments, antiseptics, pain relievers, bandages, and emergency supplies for use by fire rescue and emergency response departments. The scope of work reflects actual solicitations targeting comprehensive medical supply kits and individual treatment items rather than the narrow chemical constituents the code name suggests. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal fire and rescue departments and city procurement offices administering citywide medical supply contracts.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25P00157 for medical aid supplies on April 24, 2026, with a response deadline of April 9, 2025, seeking 32 medical and first aid supply line items including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item. The procurement includes a one-year initial award period with two potential one-year renewals, a total department budget of $100,000, and set-aside provisions for City-certified 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). All medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and the City reserves the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items. Recent activity under this code is limited; the Tampa solicitation represents the identifiable state and local opportunity in the available record.
