UNSPSC 51102802 Acetic acid/aluminum acetate is a Commodity code showing minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two opportunities posted under this code in the recent period—a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract from the Illinois Department of Public Health and a naloxone and drug deactivation systems procurement from Seminole County, Florida—do not represent purchases of acetic acid or aluminum acetate. The Illinois award supplied Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride tablets through MMCAP cooperative purchasing, while Seminole County's solicitation targeted naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems for community health distribution. Neither opportunity reflects chemical commodity procurement typical of the code's designation, suggesting the code may be misapplied to pharmaceutical and medical device categories in some state and local systems.

The issuing bodies represented are a state health department and a county government, both operating within established cooperative purchasing or competitive bid frameworks. The geographic spread is limited to Illinois and Florida based on recent postings. Given the mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual commodities being procured, pursuit under this code is not advisable unless the source material represents a system-wide tagging error or a state's use of this code for unrelated pharmaceutical procurement categories. No open solicitations for acetic acid or aluminum acetate are present in the recent-opportunities block.
