UNSPSC 51241848: Castor oil/dimethicone/nitrocellulose

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 51241848 Castor oil/dimethicone/nitrocellulose is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code diverge significantly from the product family it names. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 (due August 25, 2026) solicits liquid aluminum sulfate for phosphorus removal at a wastewater treatment facility—a chemical treatment product unrelated to castor oil or nitrocellulose formulations. The City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 (bid opening April 9, 2025) procures medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, and first aid kits for the Fire Rescue Department, also outside the code's stated commodity category. Neither opportunity reflects the specific product mix or use cases the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code assignment and actual solicitation scope suggests either inconsistent classification by issuing bodies or that this commodity code sees minimal genuine procurement activity in state and local markets. The two opportunities span different states (Texas and Florida), different issuing bodies (a municipal utility and a municipal fire department), and different product categories entirely. Without recent opportunities that align with the code's actual scope, there is insufficient evidence of active procurement under UNSPSC 51241848 to characterize issuing-body concentration, geographic hot spots, or representative work for business development purposes.
