UNSPSC 51471902 Menthol is a Commodity code that maps to consumable janitorial and operational supplies that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis. The recent solicitation record shows the code is being applied to broad purchasing vehicles that bundle multiple product lines — cleaning compounds, personal protective equipment, and related supplies — rather than menthol as a discrete chemical input. County governments and special-purpose fire-rescue services use this code to aggregate routine consumables for high-volume, distributed operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county commissions managing fire and emergency services. The scope emphasizes products that must be new and unused, supplied through authorized distributors, with standard delivery within ten days and emergency availability within five business days.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued the most recent opportunity: an ITB (Invitation for Bids) for janitorial and operational supplies with a response deadline of July 24, 2026, supporting the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's 47 stations across Tampa, Florida. The estimated contract value is $765,679.84 for a one-year period with no guaranteed minimum purchase quantities. Awards may be made by line item, group, section, or overall net bid price at the County's discretion. The requirement for authorized-distributor status and chain-of-custody documentation signals that Hillsborough County values supply traceability and vendor accountability. The contract may be shared with members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under identical terms. Florida appears to be the primary recent source of activity under this code.
