UNSPSC 51242312 Oxybenzone/padimate o/sd alcohol 40 is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The two most recent postings tagged to this code—liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment and medical aid supplies for fire rescue—fall outside the scope of ultraviolet-filter and sunscreen active ingredients that the code nominally describes. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061, posted July 27, 2026, seeks unpackaged liquid aluminum sulfate at 47%-49% concentration for phosphorus removal at a wastewater treatment facility, with an estimated annual volume of 179,200 gallons; the City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157, posted April 24, 2026, solicits first aid and medical supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, bandages, and emergency blankets for the Fire Rescue Department. Neither opportunity involves sunscreen or cosmetic UV-protection products.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity scope. Issuing bodies that have used this code include a major city water utility (Austin Water) and a municipal fire department (Tampa Fire Rescue), but the tagging appears to reflect miscategorization rather than authentic procurement demand for oxybenzone or padimate-O formulations. Without evidence of recent state and local solicitations for sunscreen actives, UV filters, or related cosmetic-chemical products under this code, the code does not currently represent a meaningful category for state and local procurement targeting.
