UNSPSC 51241832 Benzyl alcohol/camphor/isopropyl alcohol/menthol is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The City of Austin's IFB for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment and the City of Tampa's ITB for medical aid supplies (antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, bandages, and first aid kits) represent only partial overlap with the chemical families named in the code. When state and local procurement offices tag opportunities under this code, they appear to be sourcing a mixed set of chemical and medical products rather than consistently buying the specific alcohols and camphor compounds the code describes.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Texas and Florida, based on the two opportunities posted in the recent window. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 for liquid aluminum sulfate closed August 25, 2026, with an estimated annual volume of 179,200 gallons and firm unit pricing held for 12 months; bidders must demonstrate manufacturer or authorized dealer status, maintain minimum inventory of 9,000 gallons at a primary distribution facility within 500 miles of Austin, and provide NSF approval and three municipal wastewater treatment references from Texas facilities. The City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies, due April 9, 2025 (note: this date is in the past relative to the current procurement cycle), budgets $100,000 for an estimated annual procurement spanning 32 line items with potential two-year renewal options and includes a 5% bid discount for certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises. Both jurisdictions applied local business preferences or minority-owned business set-asides, signaling typical municipal procurement structure for these categories.
