UNSPSC 51302702 Cresol, a Commodity code, does not align with the actual procurement activity currently posted under it. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157, posted April 24, 2026 with a response date of April 9, 2025, solicits medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets—a broad category of first aid and medical consumables bearing no relation to cresol, a chemical disinfectant and solvent. The $100,000 procurement targets 32 line items with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units depending on the item, with a one-year initial award period and two potential one-year renewals.

The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its chemical category scope. The single identified opportunity indicates a mislabeling or miscoding within the issuing body's procurement system rather than a legitimate demand signal for cresol itself. Geographic activity is limited to Florida, specifically Tampa. State and local procurement professionals evaluating cresol as a chemical commodity should not rely on this code for market intelligence; the posting appears to reflect a cataloging error on the City of Tampa's procurement platform rather than a substantive opportunity in disinfectants or chemical solvents. Bidders interested in the actual medical supplies opportunity should note the City's set-aside provisions offering 5% bid discounts (capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs) for certified small local business enterprises and underutilized women and minority-owned businesses.
