UNSPSC 51241928 Panthenol/vitamin A/vitamin D/vitamin E is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity does not align with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code are a City of Austin IFB for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment and a City of Tampa ITB for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, and first aid kits. Neither of these solicitations involves panthenol or the specified vitamins. The Austin opportunity targets a single chemical product for phosphorus removal in activated sludge processes at a municipal wastewater facility, while the Tampa opportunity covers a broad range of first aid and emergency medical consumables for fire rescue operations. Both are issued by city-level purchasing offices but cover entirely different commodity families—water treatment chemicals and emergency medical supplies, respectively—suggesting the code may be assigned inconsistently across state and local jurisdictions or that these opportunities have been mislabeled.

The geographic activity shown is limited to Texas and Florida. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 for liquid aluminum sulfate closed on August 25, 2026, with a local and small business preference applying discounts of 5% for bids up to $500,000 and 3% for bids between $500,000 and $50 million within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area. The City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies, posted April 24, 2026, offered a 5% bid discount for certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises, with a total departmental budget of $100,000. Neither opportunity reflects the panthenol or vitamin products the code nominally describes, suggesting that pursuit decisions should account for a significant mismatch between code assignment and actual scope across current state and local opportunities.
