UNSPSC 51241851 Chloral hydrate/salicylic acid is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure medical and first aid supply items — including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets — primarily for use by fire rescue and emergency response departments. The scope encompasses topical and oral pharmaceutical products and associated medical consumables in bulk quantities, with estimated annual purchase volumes ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item depending on the specific product. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal fire and rescue departments operating through city procurement offices. All medications must meet a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and procurement often includes set-aside provisions favoring small local business enterprises and underutilized woman and minority-owned businesses.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued ITB 25-P-00157 in April 2026, seeking a comprehensive medical aid supplies contract with an estimated annual budget of $100,000 and an initial one-year award period with potential two-year renewal options. The solicitation included specific bid discounts for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (up to $10,000) and Underutilized Woman and Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (up to $20,000), with emphasis on businesses owned by African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and women entrepreneurs. Bidders were required to submit electronic proposals through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal and provide documentation including business licenses, minority business status certifications, conflict of interest disclosures, and evidence of criminal history screening practices. The available source contains limited recent-opportunity data; this represents the primary current activity visible under the code.
