UNSPSC 51452202: Benzyl benzoate

This clasification denotes an ester of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid, with the formula C6H5CH2O2CC6H5 called benzyl benzoate. This easily prepared compound with a mild balsamic odor has a variety of uses. Most nations schedule Benzyl benzoate under HS 29163100 and SITC 51379. As of Q4 2014, BENZYL BENZOATE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. Benzyl benzoate bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0053289 and NCI Concept Code C65255. SMILES: C1CCC(CC1)COC(=O)C2CCCCC2.

UNSPSC 51452202 Benzyl benzoate is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement databases with a nominal focus on a specific chemical compound, but recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal actual alignment with benzyl benzoate procurement — instead capturing pharmaceutical, naloxone, and medical supply acquisitions that fall outside the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-collection artifact; state and local procurement activity directly targeting benzyl benzoate as a line item is not evident in recent records.

The four opportunities on file span health and human services agencies across multiple states and procurement vehicles. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (Solicitation IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) for naloxone and drug deactivation systems; the City of Tampa released an IFB (26P00145, due March 13, 2026) for medical and first aid supplies to the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, a $700,000 procurement with a 5% SLBE bid discount capped at $10,000; the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued an RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across state and local government facilities including Oregon; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission released an RFI (HHS0017013, posted April 3, 2026) exploring direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy benefit models. None of these solicitations center on benzyl benzoate. The code shows activity across Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, but the actual work being procured — naloxone, emergency medical supplies, generic pharmaceuticals, and pharmacy program design — does not substantively match the benzyl benzoate commodity classification.
