UNSPSC 51241862 Diphenhydramine/phenol is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical products and topical agents used by state and local emergency response and public health agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show procurement of a broader range of medical aid and first aid supply items—including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets—rather than diphenhydramine and phenol specifically. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department is the primary buyer represented in recent activity, seeking these products through standing agreements with approved vendors on a one-year renewable basis. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal fire rescue departments and local public safety agencies; the Tampa procurement emphasizes set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering bid discounts of up to $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs.

The procurement targets one-year awards with two optional one-year renewals, requires all medications to carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and allows awards by aggregate total or individual line items.
