UNSPSC 51241850 Cellulose/talc is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice covers medical and first aid supply consumables, including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, pain relievers, and emergency blankets purchased by public safety and emergency services departments. The code encompasses both individual product line items and integrated first aid kits, with state and local buyers specifying minimum shelf-life requirements (typically nine months from acceptance) and evaluating vendors on product quality, financial condition, and compliance with local ordinances. City fire and rescue departments drive demand under this code, with procurement vehicles structured to support local small business and minority-owned enterprise participation through set-aside discounts and certified vendor lists.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25P00157 on April 24, 2026, with a response date of April 9, 2025, seeking 32 line items of medical aid supplies with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item and a total department budget of $100,000. The solicitation includes a 5% bid discount for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), with discounts capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs, and reserves the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items. The source shows limited recent activity under the code; no other state or local opportunities are present in the dataset, making geographic or issuing-body characterization impossible beyond this single Tampa procurement.
