UNSPSC 51241917: Lactic acid/vitamin e

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 51241917 Lactic acid/vitamin E is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH 1061 solicits liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment, and the City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 solicits medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, bandages, and emergency blankets — neither category reflects the code's nominal scope of lactic acid or vitamin E products. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that the code carries misclassified activity in state and local procurement databases. No recent opportunities aligned with the code's intended commodity scope are present in the available records.

The geographic spread of these misaligned opportunities spans Texas and Florida, but without solicitations actually matching lactic acid or vitamin E procurement, the code offers little actionable market intelligence for vendors in those product categories. Firms pursuing state and local contracts under this code should verify the accurate UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before bidding, as the current tag does not reflect the work being bought.
