UNSPSC 51242311 Oxybenzone/padimate o/para-aminobenzoic acid/sd alcohol 40 is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The two most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with its nominal scope of sunscreen actives and alcohol denaturants. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061, posted July 27, 2026 with bids due August 25, 2026, solicits liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment phosphorus removal—a chemical coagulant with no connection to the code's stated product family. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue's ITB 25-P-00157, posted April 24, 2026, seeks a mix of medical first aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, and pain relievers—general-purpose medical consumables that do not match the code's sunscreen chemistry focus. Both solicitations appear to be misclassified or incorrectly tagged in the source system.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests that state and local procurement offices are either applying the code inconsistently or the opportunities are genuinely misfiled. Austin Water's annual requirement of 179,200 gallons of alum and Tampa's $100,000 medical supplies budget represent legitimate state and local buying activity, but neither transaction is meaningfully related to sunscreen actives or denaturants. Pursuit under this code would require clarification with issuing bodies on whether the tagging reflects actual commodity classification or a cataloging error. No other recent opportunities are present in the source.
