UNSPSC 51242302: Avobenzone/padimate-o

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE300. This VA Drug Class (DE300) classifies this compound as belonging to the group SUN PROTECTANTS/SCREENS, TOPICAL.

UNSPSC 51242302 Avobenzone/padimate-o is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — sunscreen actives — does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code are for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment and medical aid supplies for fire rescue operations, neither of which relates to avobenzone or padimate-o formulations. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, and the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited under it suggests either data-entry error or legacy categorization in the source systems.

Without opportunities authentically matching the code's nominal definition, assessing issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or pipeline strength is not feasible. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for sunscreen ingredients or sun-care products before building a pursuit strategy, as this code does not currently reflect state and local demand for those materials.
