Chloral hydrate is a geminal diol with the formula C2H3Cl3O2. It is a colorless solid. It has limited use as a sedative and hypnotic pharmaceutical drug

UNSPSC 12352330 Chlorhydrate is a Commodity code that covers chemical compounds and disinfectants used in state and local facility operations, particularly herbicides and hypochlorous acid-based disinfectants. Recent state and local solicitations show purchasing focused on ready-to-use herbicide products for grounds maintenance and on equipment or systems that generate disinfectants on demand for facility-wide use. The issuing bodies include cities, counties, and special-purpose water and wastewater authorities. Cities acquire herbicide through micro-order purchases for application at multiple district-level sites; counties procure hypochlorous acid generation systems as capital equipment with bundled installation, training, and maintenance services. Water and wastewater authorities, while posting waste-disposal services that do not directly map to the code, represent a category of specialized local agency active in chemical procurement.

Recent activity spans Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas. The City of Philadelphia posted a micro-order RFQ for herbicide with a response deadline of October 14, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $45,000, requesting quotations across six delivery locations in Philadelphia districts; the contract is structured as a requirements contract with 365-day terms and CPI-U annual adjustment. Escambia County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited proposals for the purchase, installation, and maintenance of a hypochlorous acid generator capable of producing disinfectant on demand for all county facilities, with proposals due August 11, 2026; the scope includes delivery, installation, testing, personnel training, and ongoing hardware and software maintenance, with cybersecurity requirements specified in referenced IT security assessment documents. Vendors pursuing herbicide or disinfectant-equipment opportunities should expect insurance minimums (General Liability at $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence), compliance with nondiscrimination and ethics standards, and in the case of county-scale opportunities, technology-integration and cybersecurity documentation.
