UNSPSC 51241917 Lactic acid/vitamin E is a Commodity code that captures medical and first aid supply items, including topical antiseptics, pain relievers, bandages, and emergency medical consumables procured by state and local fire rescue and emergency response departments. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department represents the issuing-body profile for this code, soliciting bundled medical aid supplies through ITB notice 25-P-00157 with a $100,000 annual budget and eligibility for local small business and minority-owned enterprise set-asides offering 5% bid discounts up to $10,000 for certified SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. The code captures consumable medical supplies with tight shelf-life requirements—the Tampa solicitation mandates a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance—and supports multi-year procurement cycles, with the City's award structured as a one-year initial term plus two optional one-year renewals.

Geographic activity is limited to Florida based on the available record. The single recent opportunity from the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted April 24, 2026 with a response deadline of April 9, 2025, suggests suppressed activity under this Commodity code or potential misclassification of medical supply bundles into broader family-level codes. Vendors bidding this code should confirm whether state and local procurement offices in other jurisdictions are tagging medical consumable purchases separately or rolling them into parent family codes. The Tampa ITB requires electronic submission via OpenGov eProcurement Portal and includes standard documentation requests (business licenses, conflict-of-interest disclosures, criminal history screening practices) alongside local minority certification verification and subcontractor placement plans for WMBE and SLBE partners.
