UNSPSC 51241920: Lanolin/mineral oil/parabens

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 51241920 Lanolin/mineral oil/parabens is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity appearing under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment and first aid medical supplies—neither of which are lanolin, mineral oil, or parabens products. The City of Austin's IFB for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for phosphorus removal at a wastewater treatment facility and the City of Tampa's ITB for medical aid supplies (antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets) represent the posted activity, but neither falls within the code's nominal scope. This mismatch suggests the code carries little relevant recent activity for suppliers of lanolin, mineral oil, and parabens formulations.

The two opportunities posted under this code originate from different issuing bodies and geographies. The City of Austin posted IFB 2200 CSH1061 on July 27, 2026, with bids due August 25, 2026, seeking 179,200 gallons annually of liquid aluminum sulfate at 47%-49% concentration for wastewater operations, with local and small business preference discounts available. The City of Tampa posted ITB 25-P-00157 on April 24, 2026, for a comprehensive list of 32 medical and first aid items with an estimated department budget of $100,000 and set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises. The geographic spread spans Texas and Florida, though the code does not currently reflect active solicitation in other states for products matching the code's stated commodity.
