UNSPSC 51242315 Padimate o/petrolatum is a Commodity code covering topical skin-care and protective products for use in emergency response and medical settings. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on medical aid supplies for first-responder and emergency-preparedness use, where padimate o and petrolatum-based products appear as components within broader medical supply bundles rather than as standalone line items. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department is the primary issuing body visible in recent activity, soliciting comprehensive first aid and emergency medical supply packages that include antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets alongside protective and healing topical agents. Issuing bodies pursuing this code span municipal fire and rescue departments, and the procurement activities emphasize compliance with inventory management standards, expiration dating (minimum nine-month shelf life from acceptance), and local set-aside preferences for small and minority-owned certified vendors.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Florida, with the City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies representing the visible opportunity. That solicitation, posted April 24, 2026 with a bid opening date of April 9, 2025, targets an estimated annual spend of up to $100,000 and includes set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), with bid discounts up to $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. The procurement anticipates an initial one-year award with two optional one-year renewals and requires submission through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal, with evaluation criteria including product quality, vendor responsibility, and compliance with local ordinances.
