UNSPSC 51241908 Cetyl alcohol/propylene glycol/stearyl alcohol/wax is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure formulated chemical compounds and chemical-based products, though recent activity shows limited direct solicitation under this specific code. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's April 2026 ITB 25P00157 for medical aid supplies represents the available recent opportunity, though the procurement spans a broader array of first aid and medical items—antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, emergency blankets, and related supplies—rather than narrowly targeting the specialty wax and alcohol compounds the code nominally describes. The presence of this single medical supplies opportunity suggests that state and local buyers may tag broader first aid and hygiene product procurements under this code when formulated alcohol or wax-based components are present in the supply mix, though the scope remains unclear from limited recent activity.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued the only identified recent opportunity, an ITB with a response date of April 9, 2025 and a $100,000 total budget, structured to award by aggregate total or individual line items over a one-year initial period with two optional one-year renewals. The solicitation includes set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises with 5% bid discounts (capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs). Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida based on the single identified posting. The limited recent opportunity volume under this code suggests either minimal direct procurement of these specific chemical compounds by state and local bodies or systematic recoding of related products under broader chemical or supply family codes; firms should verify whether this Commodity code remains actively used by target jurisdictions before planning development efforts.
