UNSPSC 51241838 Calamine/glycerin/phenol/zinc oxide is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity spans chemical treatment compounds and medical supplies used across municipal operations. The City of Austin's IFB for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) — a wastewater treatment chemical — and the City of Tampa's ITB for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, and first aid kits show the code capturing both infrastructure-support chemicals and first-responder consumables rather than a narrowly defined topical pharmaceutical formulation. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include municipal departments (public works and water utilities, fire and rescue services) pursuing routine consumable and operational-support supply agreements on a one-year or multi-year renewal basis.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida. The City of Austin is procuring alum for wastewater treatment with bids due August 25, 2026, requiring NSF-approved liquid aluminum sulfate at 47%–49% concentration, delivered FOB destination, in an estimated annual volume of 179,200 gallons, with local and small business bid discounts of 3%–5% available and firm unit pricing required for 12 months. The City of Tampa is seeking medical aid supplies through ITB 25-P-00157 with a total departmental budget of $100,000, covering an estimated 32 line items with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item, with set-aside discounts for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises. Both solicitations emphasize local supplier participation and carry insurance and compliance requirements (Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability) typical of municipal supply contracts.
