UNSPSC 51302001 Caprylic acid or Octanoic acid is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity in the source—City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies—is plainly unrelated to caprylic or octanoic acid procurement; the solicitation covers first aid and emergency medical consumables including bandages, antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, and aspirin. The code does not appear to reflect actual state and local purchasing patterns for organic acids or chemical inputs.

The Tampa solicitation, posted April 24, 2026 with a bid opening of April 9, 2025, targets a $100,000 annual budget and includes set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (5% discount, capped at $10,000) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (5% discount, capped at $20,000). The procurement anticipates an initial one-year award with two optional renewals and allows award by aggregate total or individual line items. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code are present in the source. This code shows no active market signal for business development purposes.
