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 and chlorhexidine is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains sixteen solicitations spanning respiratory protective equipment, maintenance and operations supplies, fire rescue equipment, medical and pharmaceutical items, safety products, educational services, facility operations, and evacuation chairs—none of which involve antiseptic wipes or related cleaning products. The sole substantive mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual recent solicitations suggests this code either attracts narrow, episodic demand or is underutilized by state and local issuing bodies in current market conditions.

No state or local government has posted a competitive opportunity specifically requesting antiseptic wipes with alcohol and chlorhexidine in the recent-opportunities dataset. Absent concrete procurement activity, market characterization at the issuing-body, geographic, or opportunity level cannot be grounded in current signals. Business development professionals evaluating this code should monitor for future activity or consider whether demand exists through master-agreement frameworks, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or routine purchases buried in broader MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) contracts rather than standalone solicitations.
