UNSPSC 51241915 Glycerin/rose water is a Commodity code that covers antiseptic and personal care liquids purchased by state and local emergency services and public health departments. The recent activity shows that state and local governments buy glycerin and rose water solutions primarily as components of broader medical aid and first aid supply procurements, alongside bandages, antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, and other wound-care and emergency-response consumables. The scope under this code reflects routine replenishment of first aid kits and emergency medical supplies maintained by fire departments, EMS units, and public safety agencies; vendors typically compete on product quality, expiration dating (commonly a minimum nine-month shelf life requirement), and compliance with local sourcing or minority business set-asides.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued Invitation to Bid 25-P-00157 in April 2026, soliciting 32 medical aid supply items with an estimated annual budget of $100,000 and a one-year initial term plus two optional one-year renewals. The solicitation included set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) offering a 5 percent bid discount (capped at $10,000) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs) with a 5 percent discount capped at $20,000, reflecting Tampa's emphasis on local economic inclusion and diversity in procurement. The source shows limited recent activity under this specific Commodity code; glycerin and rose water typically appear as line items within larger medical supply bundles rather than as standalone procurements, suggesting that opportunities are episodic and bundled with broader first aid purchasing cycles.
