UNSPSC 51241833 Boric acid/vitamin a/vitamin d/zinc oxide (Commodity) shows misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code does not match the concrete work being procured under it today.

The most recent opportunity posted under this code — City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 (due August 25, 2026) — solicits liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment phosphorus removal, not boric acid, vitamins, or zinc oxide. A second opportunity from the City of Tampa Fire Rescue (ITB 25-P-00157) targets medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, and bandages — likewise unrelated to the code's stated commodity. Neither solicitation involves the products named in the UNSPSC category. Austin Water's alum procurement specifies unpackaged liquid aluminum sulfate at 47%-49% concentration delivered to the wastewater treatment facility, with an estimated annual quantity of 179,200 gallons and firm pricing for 12 months subject to PPI-indexed adjustments up to 25% annually. Tampa's medical supplies bid covers 32 line items with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units and a total departmental budget of $100,000, with a one-year award period and two optional renewals.

The issuing-body mix includes a municipal water utility (Austin Water) and a city fire/rescue department (Tampa Fire Rescue). The geographic spread is limited to Texas and Florida based on recent postings. This code presents little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the tagged opportunities appear to reflect data-entry or classification mismatches rather than authentic procurement demand for the products the UNSPSC category describes. Business development professionals should verify category assignment before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
