UNSPSC 51242001 Phenol/resorcinol is a Commodity code that covers chemical compounds used in industrial, medical, and consumer applications, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the phenol/resorcinol category itself. State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged with this code are primarily municipal fire and rescue departments procuring medical and first aid supplies—antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets—rather than bulk phenol or resorcinol chemical feedstocks. The scope of work reflects routine consumable medical supply procurement, typically for one-year initial terms with renewal options, and vendors must meet product-quality standards, financial responsibility requirements, and compliance with local ordinances. Issuing bodies include city fire rescue departments and similar municipal emergency-services units.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25P00157 on April 24, 2026, seeking a comprehensive list of 32 medical and first aid supply items with an estimated annual budget of $100,000. The invitation included set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) offering a 5% bid discount (capped at $10,000) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs) with a 5% discount (capped at $20,000). The bid opening was scheduled for April 9, 2025—a date in the past relative to the posting, suggesting a data-entry error in the source. The procurement emphasizes diversity and local economic inclusion, with a pre-compiled contact list of 11 certified minority and small local business enterprises. Beyond this Tampa opportunity, the source reports no other recent state or local solicitations under this code, indicating minimal current procurement activity or a systematic tagging mismatch between the code's chemical-compound scope and the medical supplies actually being bought.
