UNSPSC 51241827: Benzocaine/methyl salicylate

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE900. This VA Drug Class (DE900) classifies this compound as belonging to the group DERMATOLOGICALS, TOPICAL OTHER.

UNSPSC 51241827 Benzocaine/methyl salicylate is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The two recent opportunities tagged under this code do not match its nominal scope: one solicits liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment (City of Austin IFB2200CSH1061), and the other solicits medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, and bandages for fire rescue operations (City of Tampa ITB 25-P-00157). Neither opportunity involves benzocaine or methyl salicylate topical analgesics or their formulations. The code's abstract designation does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry based on recent posted solicitations.

The mismatch between the code's name and actual purchasing activity suggests either a classification error in how opportunities are tagged or minimal genuine activity under this specific commodity. Business development professionals should verify current procurement intent directly with issuing bodies rather than rely on this code for targeting. The two visible opportunities—Austin's chemical treatment bid and Tampa's fire-rescue medical supplies procurement—appear to be miscoded and do not represent a market for benzocaine or methyl salicylate products at the state and local level.
