UNSPSC 51241883 Papain/urea is a Commodity code that covers enzymatic wound-care products, but recent state and local procurement under this code shows minimal activity aligned with the nominal product scope. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25-P-00157 on April 24, 2026, for a medical aid supplies procurement that encompasses a broad range of first aid and emergency-response items — antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets — rather than papain or urea-based wound debridement agents specifically. The solicitation targets a $100,000 annual spend across 32 supply line items with estimated quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units depending on the product, and the City reserves the right to award by aggregate total or individual line item. Medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance.

The Tampa opportunity reflects fire and rescue department procurement in a single Florida city and carries set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) with a 5% bid discount capped at $10,000 and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs) with a discount capped at $20,000. The ITB specified an April 9, 2025 bid opening (note: the posted date of April 24, 2026 appears inconsistent with this earlier due date in the source). No additional state or local opportunities under this Commodity code appear in the recent-opportunities block, and the Tampa solicitation's emphasis on general first aid and emergency supplies rather than enzymatic wound-care products suggests limited current market activity for papain/urea specifically in state and local procurement.
