UNSPSC 51303605: Alcohol/benzocaine/choroxylenol/resorcinol/salicylic acid

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE102. This VA Drug Class (DE102) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIFUNGAL, TOPICAL.

UNSPSC 51303605 Alcohol/benzocaine/choroxylenol/resorcinol/salicylic acid is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this designation. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code involve liquid aluminum sulfate for municipal wastewater treatment and medical aid supplies for fire rescue operations — neither product falls within the code's stated scope of antiseptic and topical treatment compounds. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code incorrectly for chemical and supply purchases that do not match the therapeutic ingredients the code nominally covers. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging errors in the databases tracking these opportunities or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for miscellaneous chemical and medical consumables outside its intended category.

The City of Austin posted IFB 2200 CSH1061 in July 2026 for 179,200 gallons annually of liquid aluminum sulfate for phosphorus removal at a wastewater treatment facility, with bids due August 25, 2026 and local and small business preferences of up to 5% discount available. The City of Tampa posted ITB 25-P-00157 in April 2026 for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, and bandages for the Fire Rescue Department with a $100,000 annual budget and set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises. The geographic spread across these opportunities spans Texas and Florida. Without recent opportunities genuinely aligned to the code's stated composition, pursuing this code as written carries significant risk of proposal mismatch — clarification with issuing bodies on their actual procurement intent and correct code assignment is advisable before committing resources.
