UNSPSC 51241856 Chlorophyllin copper complex/sodium chloride is a Commodity code representing a narrow chemical compound, yet the recent state and local activity tagged to it reflects a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's April 2026 ITB 25-P-00157 targets medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets—a broad procurement of routine first aid and medical consumables rather than a specialized chlorophyll-derivative product. The $100,000 solicitation spans 32 line items with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item and requires a nine-month minimum expiration date from acceptance. The procurement includes set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) offering a 5% bid discount up to $10,000, and for Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs) with a discount up to $20,000, targeting businesses owned by African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and Women owners.

The single recent opportunity on record comes from the City of Tampa and shows minimal relevant recent state and local activity under this specific commodity code. The ITB was posted April 24, 2026, with a bid opening date of April 9, 2025—a contradiction in the source that creates uncertainty about the actual solicitation timeline. Vendors must submit electronically through OpenGov eProcurement Portal and provide business licenses, minority business status certifications, conflict of interest disclosures, and criminal history screening documentation. The award structure allows the City to select by aggregate total or individual line items, with an initial one-year contract period and two optional one-year renewals. The mismatch between the code's chemical specificity and the broad medical-supplies scope suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this commodity code is not actively used for state and local medical procurement activity.
