UNSPSC 51303104: Thymol iodide

This classification denotes a topical anti-infective agent with the molecular formula C20H24I2O2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier A51HJM3XSU, chemically known as 5,5-diisopropyl-2,2-dimethylbiphenyl-4,4-diyl dihypoiodite but generally known as thymol iodide, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 11088. European Medicines Agency schedules Thymol iodide in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB15556MIG.

As of Q4 2014, THYMOL IODIDE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. Thymol iodide bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0301298 and NCI Concept Code C84206. SMILES: IOC1C(C(C)C)CC(C2CC(C(C)C)C(OI)CC2C)C(C1)C.

UNSPSC 51303104 Thymol iodide, a Commodity code, maps to state and local procurement of chemical treatment products and medical supplies, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied to goods only tangentially related to thymol iodide's nominal use. The City of Austin recently solicited liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) under this code for phosphorus removal at its wastewater treatment facility through IFB 2200 CSH1061, due August 25, 2026, requiring NSF-approved product at 47–49% concentration and annual volumes of 179,200 gallons. The City of Tampa's Fire Rescue Department simultaneously posted an ITB for a diverse set of 32 medical and first aid supply items—antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, bandages, emergency blankets, and first aid kits—with quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units annually. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal water and wastewater utilities and public-safety departments. The Austin solicitation emphasizes local and small-business preferences (5% and 3% discounts respectively on aggregate bids), NSF and AWWA certification, firm 12-month pricing with capped annual adjustments, and references from current Texas municipal wastewater users. The Tampa ITB includes set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority-Owned Business Enterprises with bid discounts capped at $10,000 and $20,000 respectively, and requires nine-month minimum expiration dates on medications.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida. The Austin opportunity represents traditional chemical-treatment procurement for municipal infrastructure, while the Tampa solicitation indicates the code is also being used for medical consumables by first-responder agencies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns suggests procurement offices may be consolidating unrelated consumable purchases under a single classification. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Austin's alum procurement (IFB, due August 25, 2026, with questions due August 10, 2026) and the City of Tampa Fire Rescue's medical supplies bid (ITB, due April 9, 2025, with budget of $100,000 and potential two-year renewal). Bidders should verify that opportunities posted under this code match their product line before pursuit, as the code's application appears inconsistent with its stated chemical identity.
