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 51242311 Oxybenzone/padimate o/para-aminobenzoic acid/sd alcohol 40 is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under it shows minimal direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. The single recent opportunity sourced—City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department ITB 25-P-00157, posted April 24, 2026—is a medical aid supplies solicitation covering antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets with an estimated annual procurement budget of $100,000. While the City's solicitation includes antiseptic sprays and related topical products that could fall within sunscreen and active-ingredient chemical families, the bulk of the opportunity centers on general first aid consumables and over-the-counter medications rather than the specific UV-filtering or sunscreen compounds the code nominally describes.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued the solicitation through ITB with a response deadline of April 9, 2025, and the procurement includes set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering bid discounts up to $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. The opportunity carries a one-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals. The code shows little recent state and local activity aligned with its intended product classification, suggesting either limited state and local demand for oxybenzone and related sunscreen actives under direct government procurement, or a classification mismatch in the available opportunity data.
