UNSPSC 51241823 Benzocaine/camphor/menthol is a Commodity code covering topical anesthetic and analgesic compounds used in first-aid and emergency medical applications. State and local governments procure these products primarily as components within broader medical-aid supply packages for fire rescue and emergency services departments. Recent solicitations show demand concentrated among municipal fire-rescue agencies purchasing mixed medical and first-aid inventory — bandages, antiseptic sprays, pain relievers, and emergency supplies — where benzocaine/camphor/menthol products are bundled with other wound-care and pain-management items rather than procured as standalone line items. Issuing bodies are typically city fire-rescue departments and emergency-services divisions within municipalities, sourcing supplies through ITB and RFP processes with annual or multi-year award periods.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25-P-00157 on April 24, 2026, for a comprehensive medical-aid supply package spanning 32 line items with an estimated annual budget of $100,000 and response due April 9, 2025. The solicitation included set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises, offering bid discounts of up to $10,000 and $20,000 respectively. The contract structure allows award by aggregate total or individual line items with an initial one-year term plus two optional one-year renewals, requiring all medications to maintain a minimum nine-month expiration date from date of acceptance. Geographic concentration within available source data is limited to Tampa, Florida; broader state and local activity under this Commodity code is not evident from the recent-opportunities block.
