UNSPSC 51241829 Calamine/lanolin/menthol/zinc oxide is a Commodity code covering topical first-aid and medical preparations that state and local governments procure as components of broader medical supply stockpiles. The code captures individual active ingredients and formulated products — calamine lotion, mentholated salves, zinc oxide ointments, and similar over-the-counter topical remedies — used by emergency services, public health departments, and municipal first-aid programs. Recent solicitations show these products bundled with other first-aid supplies (bandages, antiseptic sprays, pain relievers) rather than purchased in isolation, reflecting how fire rescue and emergency medical services acquire them as part of comprehensive medical aid kits. Municipal fire and rescue departments are the primary soliciting bodies under this code.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies with a response deadline of April 9, 2025, requesting 32 line items across antiseptic sprays, topical treatments, bandages, and emergency supplies with estimated annual volumes ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item. The City budgeted $100,000 for the procurement and offered a 5% bid discount to City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), with discounts capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. The award anticipated an initial one-year term with two optional one-year renewals. All medications required a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and the City reserved the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items.
