UNSPSC 51242313 Oxybenzone/para-aminobenzoic acid is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement activity covers medical aid supplies and first aid consumables purchased by fire rescue and emergency services departments. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's April 2026 ITB 25-P-00157 solicits 32 medical and first aid items including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item. The code appears to capture broader emergency medical supply procurement rather than the specific sunscreen and topical UV-protection compounds the code name suggests, indicating that state and local buyers tag related first aid and medical consumables under this classification. Issuing bodies using the code include city-level fire rescue and emergency services departments, with local purchasing offices managing procurement through competitive bidding processes.

The Tampa Fire Rescue solicitation, due April 9, 2025 with electronic submission through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal, targets a $100,000 annual budget and offers City-certified Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBE) set-asides with 5% bid discounts capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. The contract structure anticipates a one-year award with two optional renewal periods. All medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and the City reserves the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items. Vendors must provide business licenses, minority business status certifications, conflict of interest disclosures, and criminal history screening documentation, with a Letter of Intent (Form MBD-40) required within ten work days of bid opening.
