UNSPSC 51241911 Collagen/elastin/glycerin is a Commodity code that encompasses medical supply procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of first aid and medical consumables than the narrow title suggests. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies illustrates the actual scope: the procurement covers 32 line items including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item. Fire departments and emergency services constitute the primary issuing bodies under this code, though the scope encompasses any municipality or public agency stocking emergency medical and first aid consumables. The solicitation emphasizes local procurement preference through set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering a 5% bid discount capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs.

The City of Tampa is the only documented issuing body in recent activity under this code. The Fire Rescue Department's $100,000 annual procurement budget represents a modest but recurring demand stream, with the contract structured as a one-year initial award plus two optional one-year renewals, signaling predictable reprocurement cycles. Response deadlines and geographic concentration beyond Tampa are not supported by the available recent-opportunities data, limiting visibility into whether this code sees broader state or multi-jurisdictional activity. The ITB closed April 9, 2025, with electronic submission required through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal and a Letter of Intent (Form MBD-40) due within ten work days of bid opening; all medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance.
