UNSPSC 51242304 Cinoxate/zinc oxide is a Commodity code that covers sunscreen and skin-protection compounds state and local agencies procure for first aid and emergency medical supplies. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies illustrates the actual scope: agencies buy cinoxate and zinc oxide as components within comprehensive first aid kits and medical supply bundles rather than as standalone products. The code covers antiseptic, protective, and medicated compounds used in occupational health, emergency response, and institutional care settings. Issuing bodies include fire departments and rescue services within municipal governments; the Tampa procurement represents the type of municipal fire or rescue department that regularly sources these materials as part of baseline operational inventory.

The source identifies activity in Florida, specifically the City of Tampa. The ITB posted April 24, 2026 with a response deadline of April 9, 2025 (note: the deadline predates the posted date in the source record, likely a data entry error) targets a $100,000 annual budget across 32 medical and first aid items, with cinoxate/zinc oxide embedded within that broader list. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department set aside procurement capacity for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering discounts up to $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs, signaling priority for local and minority vendors. All medications must meet a nine-month minimum expiration date from acceptance, and the contract structure permits award by aggregate total or individual line items, with potential for two one-year renewals beyond the initial term.
