UNSPSC 51241831 Benzoxiquine/ichthammol is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses chemical treatment products for municipal water and wastewater operations, though the actual solicitations posted under it diverge significantly from the code's nominal scope. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061, posted July 27, 2026 with bids due August 25, 2026, seeks liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) at 47%–49% concentration for phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment, while a second opportunity from Tampa—though tagged to this code—addresses medical aid supplies for fire rescue operations. The alum procurement represents the only substantively relevant recent activity under the code; it calls for 179,200 gallons annually, NSF-approved product, firm unit pricing for 12 months with indexed adjustments thereafter, and three municipal wastewater references from Texas facilities. Austin applies local business and small business preference discounts of 5% on bids up to $500,000 and 3% between $500,000 and $50 million, and requires vendors to maintain 9,000-gallon minimum inventory and identify distribution facilities within 500 miles.

Activity under this code appears minimal and geographically concentrated. The Austin opportunity represents the only clearly aligned recent solicitation; the Tampa medical supplies ITB 25-P-00157, posted April 24, 2026 with opening on April 9, 2025 (a date inconsistent with the posting), appears miscoded and does not relate to the code's chemical treatment scope. The code shows little evidence of widespread state and local procurement activity; issuers are sparse and the geographic footprint is limited to Texas. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor Austin Water and other Texas municipal wastewater utilities for recurring alum and coagulant procurements, which typically cycle annually, and confirm proper code assignment before pursuing opportunities outside the water treatment domain.
