UNSPSC 51242013 Sulfacetamide/sulfur is a Commodity code that in practice covers medical aid and first aid supply procurement by state and local fire rescue and public safety departments. The scope of work under this code extends beyond the nominal product name to encompass a broad range of first aid consumables — antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, bandages, emergency blankets, first aid kits, and related medical supplies — that fire rescue and emergency services departments stock and deploy regularly. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal fire rescue departments within major cities, which represent the primary procurement activity visible in recent opportunities.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted Invitation to Bid 25-P-00157 in April 2026, seeking medical aid supplies across 32 line items with an estimated annual budget of $100,000 and potential for two one-year contract renewals. The solicitation includes set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises, offering bid discounts of up to $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. Recent activity is concentrated in Florida, where Tampa's fire rescue procurement represents the primary visible opportunity. The evaluation criteria emphasize product quality, vendor responsibility, and compliance with local ordinances, with all medications required to carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance. Awards may be issued by aggregate total or individual line items, and the City reserves discretion to structure the contract across multiple vendors.
