UNSPSC 51241881 Menthol/zinc is a Commodity code that in practice captures chemical products for municipal operations, though recent state and local solicitations show limited alignment with the code's nominal scope. The City of Austin posted IFB 2200 CSH1061 in July 2026 seeking liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for phosphorus removal at its wastewater treatment facility—a chemical procurement for water and wastewater infrastructure rather than menthol or zinc products. The City of Tampa posted ITB 25-P-00157 in April 2026 for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays and first aid items, similarly misaligned with the code's stated category. State and local issuing bodies using this code include water utilities, fire-rescue departments, and city procurement offices, though the recent opportunities do not indicate repeat or concentrated buying patterns under the code's nominal product scope.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida based on the recent solicitations. The Austin Water alum procurement targets 179,200 gallons annually with delivery to a single municipality, firm pricing for 12 months with annual adjustment caps of 25%, and local and small business preference discounts of 3% to 5% on bids up to $50 million; the City requires NSF approval, AWWA B403 compliance, three Texas municipal wastewater references, and distribution within 500 miles of Austin with dedicated storage capacity. The Tampa Fire Rescue medical supplies ITB targets an estimated $100,000 annual budget across 32 line items with one-year initial and two one-year renewal options, set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises offering up to $10,000 and $20,000 bid discounts respectively, and a nine-month minimum expiration date on medications. The code shows limited relevant recent activity aligned with its menthol/zinc classification.
