UNSPSC 51241869 Glycerin/petrolatum/propylparaben/sodium lauryl sulfate is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment chemical procurement and medical aid supplies for fire rescue departments — neither of which falls within the nominal scope of skin-care or pharmaceutical-base chemical products. The code shows little relevant recent activity and reflects a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the work actually being solicited.

The City of Austin posted IFB 2200 CSH 1061 on July 27, 2026, seeking unpackaged liquid aluminum sulfate at 47%-49% concentration for phosphorus removal at Austin Water's wastewater treatment facility, with bids due August 25, 2026. The City of Tampa posted ITB 25-P-00157 in April 2026 for medical aid supplies including bandages, antiseptic sprays, and first aid kits for the Fire Rescue Department, with a total budget of $100,000. Both solicitations include local and small-business preference discounts. Without additional recent opportunities aligned to the code's stated product scope, pursue and win assessment under this code should focus on clarifying whether state and local procurement offices are systematically applying this taxonomy to chemical or medical-supply purchases, or whether the tagging represents data-entry error rather than genuine demand signal.
