UNSPSC 51241913: Glycerin/mineral oil/petrolatum

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE350. This VA Drug Class (DE350) classifies this compound as belonging to the group EMOLLIENTS.

UNSPSC 51241913 Glycerin/mineral oil/petrolatum is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local buying activity. The one opportunity clearly matching the code's chemical-products scope is the City of Austin's August 2026 IFB for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) at its wastewater treatment facility, which procures unpackaged product at 47–49% concentration for phosphorus removal in activated sludge treatment. A second opportunity posted under this code — the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's April 2026 ITB for medical aid supplies — falls outside the code's chemical-products scope and appears to be a tagging error; it covers bandages, antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, and first aid kits for emergency response, which do not relate to glycerin, mineral oil, or petrolatum. The Austin opportunity is the only representative recent solicitation under this code with substantive chemical-product relevance.

Recent activity under UNSPSC 51241913 is sparse and geographically limited to Texas. The City of Austin's liquid aluminum sulfate procurement (IFB 2200 CSH1061, due August 25, 2026) is the primary signal; it targets 179,200 gallons annually, requires NSF approval and AWWA B403 compliance, and offers local-business and small-business preference discounts of 5% and 3% respectively for offerors headquartered within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area. Bidders must demonstrate manufacturer or authorized-dealer status, maintain minimum inventory of 9,000 gallons at a distribution facility within 500 miles of Austin, and provide three Texas municipal wastewater treatment references. The code shows no evidence of activity from state departments, counties beyond Travis and Williamson, school districts, or transit authorities in the available recent-opportunities block.
