UNSPSC 51302002 Sodium caprylate is a Commodity code that captures individual chemical and pharmaceutical supply items procured by state and local health and emergency services agencies. While the code nominally identifies sodium caprylate as a single ingredient, recent state and local solicitations under this code actually reflect broad medical and first aid supply procurement—including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets purchased in bulk quantities. Issuing bodies under the code include municipal fire and rescue departments procuring medical aid supplies for their operations.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25P00157 in April 2026, seeking a comprehensive list of 32 medical and first aid supply items with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item and a total department budget of $100,000. The solicitation included set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering a 5% bid discount on the total bid amount, capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs, with an initial one-year award period and two potential one-year renewals. All medications required a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and bidders were required to provide business licenses, minority business status certifications, conflict of interest disclosures, and criminal history screening documentation through electronic submission via the OpenGov eProcurement Portal.
