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 51242310 Octyl methoxycinnamate/oxybenzone/titanium dioxide is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—chemical sunscreen ingredients—bears no clear relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The most recent opportunity on record is the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies, a broad procurement covering antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets, with no sunscreen or UV-protection products listed. The $100,000 annual procurement targets a diverse vendor base through a 5% bid-discount set-aside for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises, with discounts capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. The mismatch between the code's chemical-ingredient name and the actual procurement suggests either a classification error in the source data or a downstream aggregation that collapsed multiple line items under an unrelated code.

The source shows activity limited to Tampa, Florida, with a single recent opportunity posted in April 2026 and a response deadline of April 9, 2025—a date that appears inconsistent with the posting date and may reflect a data integrity issue in the source record. No additional state, county, or municipal solicitations under this code appear in the available data, and no pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration can be established. The code shows little relevant recent activity for sunscreen or UV-protection-ingredient procurement at the state and local level.
