UNSPSC 51241847: Cod liver oil/talc/zinc oxide

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE900. This VA Drug Class (DE900) classifies this compound as belonging to the group DERMATOLOGICALS, TOPICAL OTHER.

UNSPSC 51241847 Cod liver oil/talc/zinc oxide, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code diverge sharply from the code's intended product family: the City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 solicits liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment phosphorus removal, and the City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 procures first aid and medical supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, and bandages for the Fire Rescue Department. Neither opportunity involves cod liver oil, talc, or zinc oxide products. The mismatch suggests that the code's actual use in state and local procurement may not align with its UNSPSC taxonomy definition, or that the tagging of these opportunities reflects administrative classification rather than commodity content.

Geographic activity under the code is limited to Texas and Florida based on recent postings. The City of Austin's liquid aluminum sulfate RFQ targets an estimated annual volume of 179,200 gallons with local and small-business discounts (5% for local, 3% for small business, applied to purchases up to $50 million), response deadline August 25, 2026, and the City of Tampa's first aid supplies ITB (response date April 9, 2025, now past) budgeted $100,000 with 5% discounts for certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises. Absence of corroborating opportunities in the recent pipeline suggests limited current market activity under this specific Commodity code for vendors tracking state and local procurement.
