UNSPSC 42141507: Antiseptic wipe with alcohol & chlorhexidine

Used for skin disinfection before surgery. Chlorhexidine may come mixed in alcohol, water, or surfactant solution. It is effective against a range of preoperative skin antiseptics for preventing surgical wound infections after clean surgery

UNSPSC 42141507 Antiseptic wipe with alcohol & chlorhexidine is a Commodity code covering sterile or non-sterile pre-saturated wipes containing both alcohol and chlorhexidine antiseptic formulations used for skin disinfection and wound preparation. State and local governments procure these products primarily through emergency medical services (EMS) and healthcare operations. Recent solicitations show EMS departments and county health agencies as the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Texas and Florida.

Williamson County, Texas issued IFB 26IFB63 for EMS Medical and Pharmaceutical Items with a response date of August 4, 2026, seeking medical supplies including items within this commodity family. The solicitation requires sealed bids submitted through the Williamson County Bonfire Portal with no minimum purchase guarantees; bids exceeding $100,000 trigger a 5 percent bid bond requirement and successful respondents on contracts exceeding $50,000 may face performance bond requirements up to the full contract amount. The recent opportunities block contains no other solicitations specifically targeting antiseptic wipes with this formulation, though the code nominally sits within broader medical and pharmaceutical procurement families. Activity under this specific code appears limited in the recent opportunities block, with the Williamson County EMS solicitation representing the primary relevant match. Geographic concentration is sparse in the source material, limiting visibility into whether state or regional patterns favor particular jurisdictions. The code warrants monitoring for subsequent EMS and public health procurement cycles, particularly in Texas and Florida, but does not show the sustained high-volume activity common to broader medical supply categories.
