UNSPSC 51102815: Aluminum acetate/benzethonium chloride

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE109. This VA Drug Class (DE109) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTI-INFECTIVE, TOPICAL, OTHER.

UNSPSC 51102815 Aluminum acetate/benzethonium chloride is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal pharmaceutical scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve naloxone and drug deactivation systems (Seminole County, Florida), therapeutic pharmacy initiatives and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), emergency medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue operations (City of Tampa), and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products through cooperative purchasing (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). None of these solicitations reference aluminum acetate or benzethonium chloride formulations or applications. The code appears to carry a misclassification or tag error in the state and local procurement system, and the specific pharmaceutical or topical compound is not actively solicited under current state and local opportunities.

The recent opportunities reflect broader procurement patterns in pharmaceutical products and medical supplies across state health agencies, county public-health functions, municipal fire and rescue departments, and cooperative purchasing consortia spanning multiple states including Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. However, because these opportunities do not target the specific chemical compound or formulation this code nominally describes, the activity does not establish a meaningful market signal or pursuit basis for vendors supplying aluminum acetate/benzethonium chloride to state and local buyers. The code warrants monitoring for potential reclassification or genuine future demand, but current evidence does not support an active procurement pipeline under this commodity designation.
