UNSPSC 51452202 Benzyl benzoate is a Commodity code for a pharmaceutical chemical compound, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect purchases of benzyl benzoate itself. Instead, the tagged opportunities show public health agencies procuring finished pharmaceutical products and medical devices through piggyback and competitive bidding processes. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to supply antibiotic tablets (Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg) over 12 months with renewal options, and Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB for annual procurement of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems with quarterly deliveries. These solicitations indicate that state and local health departments, counties, and special-purpose health districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, seeking bulk pharmaceutical and emergency-response product supply through established contracting vehicles rather than chemical precursors or raw materials.

Recent activity centers on Illinois and Florida, with the Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County representing the documented solicitations. The Illinois contract, awarded on August 28, 2026, under Bid Number 26-482DPH-PREPD-B-53392 to Chartwell Rx LLC via an Invitation for Bid process, reflects multi-year pharmaceutical supply needs through cooperative purchasing. Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026 with a July 26 response deadline, required electronic bid submission through the county's e-Procurement Portal and included FEMA compliance requirements. Neither opportunity applied Business Enterprise or Veterans Business Program set-asides. The code's recent activity signal is weak and the tagged opportunities diverge from the benzyl benzoate commodity scope, suggesting either tagging misalignment or minimal procurement of this specific chemical under this code within current state and local markets.
