UNSPSC 51241822 Benzocaine/camphor/ichthammol/phenol/sulfur/tar is a Commodity code that covers topical medicinal compounds and first aid supplies purchased by state and local emergency and health service agencies. State and local governments procure these products primarily for fire rescue departments, emergency medical services, and public health programs. The recent activity shows demand for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, pain relievers, and emergency medical kit components — products that fire rescue and EMS personnel stock for initial patient care and field treatment. Purchasing bodies are predominantly municipal fire rescue departments and public health agencies seeking standardized supplies with defined shelf-life requirements and reliability for active field use.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued ITB 25P00157 in April 2026 for medical aid supplies with a $100,000 total budget and estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units across 32 line items; the solicitation closed April 9, 2025 and included set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs) offering bid discounts capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. Recent activity in this code is limited to this single documented opportunity. The source provides no evidence of activity in other states or jurisdictions, limiting geographic characterization beyond the Tampa municipal procurement shown. Competition in this code segment appears to draw from established healthcare services vendors and medical supply providers willing to meet emergency-service supply standards and participate in municipal diversity and local-preference programs.
