UNSPSC 51242011 Salicylic acid/sodium thiosulfate is a Commodity code covering chemical compounds used in medical and first aid applications. State and local governments procure these products primarily as components of emergency medical supplies and first aid kits distributed to public safety departments. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's recent procurement demonstrates the code's practical scope: the solicitation encompasses antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, bandages, and related first aid supplies that incorporate or complement salicylic acid and sodium thiosulfate products. The issuing bodies under this code include municipal fire and rescue departments, which represent the primary buyer segment for medical aid supplies of this type. The procurement framework emphasizes vendor compliance with product quality standards, expiration-date requirements (minimum nine months from acceptance), and local set-asides for certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued ITB 25P00157 on April 24, 2026, for medical aid supplies with a response deadline of April 9, 2025, under a $100,000 annual budget and potential two-year renewal period. The solicitation targets 32 line items with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item, and includes a 5% bid discount for SLBEs (capped at $10,000) and U-WMBEs (capped at $20,000). Bidders must submit proposals electronically through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal, provide a Letter of Intent within ten work days of bid opening, and meet minority business certification and conflict-of-interest disclosure requirements. The narrow recent-opportunity record suggests limited visibility into state and local activity under this specific commodity code; Tampa represents the only recent documented opportunity in the source material.
