UNSPSC 51242300: Combination sun protectants or screens

This classification denotes combination drugs and preparations that protect the skin from sunburn and erythema by absorbing or blocking ultraviolet radiation, chiefly from solar rays, hence the term SUN PROTECTANTS OR SCREENS. Typical sun protectant or sun-screen constituents are ethyl dihydroxypropyl paba, methyl anthranilate, octyl salicylate, oxybenzone, padimate o, padimate-o, para-aminobenzoic acid, petrolatum, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide.

UNSPSC 51242300 Combination sun protectants or screens is a Class code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this designation does not reflect sun-protection products. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25-P-00157 in April 2026 for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets — a scope unrelated to sun protectants. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a jurisdictional practice of applying broad codes to miscellaneous medical consumables. Based on the single recent opportunity in the dataset, the code shows little relevant recent activity for sun-protection products at the state and local level.

The Tampa procurement targets an estimated annual spend of $100,000 with a one-year award period and two optional one-year renewals. The city has established set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering a 5% bid discount on the total bid amount (capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs), with a pre-compiled contact list of eleven certified minority and small local business enterprises. All medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from date of acceptance. Bidders must submit a Letter of Intent within ten work days of bid opening and provide subcontract agreements or purchase orders before engaging any WMBE/SLBE subcontractors. This appears to be the sole recent state and local opportunity tagged to the code.
