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 DE752. This VA Drug Class (DE752) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIACNE AGENTS, TOPICAL.

UNSPSC 51241402 Acetone/alcohol/benzalkonium chloride/salicylic acid, a Commodity code, nominally covers topical antiseptic and disinfectant solutions, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code diverge significantly from that scope. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 solicits liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment phosphorus removal, and the City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 seeks medical first aid supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, and bandages. The code appears to capture a wide range of chemical and medical supply categories in practice. Soliciting bodies include municipal departments — water utilities, fire rescue — and procurement is structured through competitive sealed bid (IFB) and invitation-to-bid (ITB) processes. Both opportunities reflect standard state and local buying patterns: firm unit pricing, insurance requirements, delivery and storage logistics, and compliance with industry standards (NSF, AWWA, expiration-date warranties).

Geographic activity spans Texas (Austin) and Florida (Tampa), with no additional jurisdictions represented in the recent opportunities on file. The City of Austin IFB 2200 CSH1061, due August 25, 2026, procures approximately 179,200 gallons annually of NSF-approved liquid aluminum sulfate at 47%-49% concentration, with local business and small business preference discounts up to 5% available on bids under $500,000 and 3% on larger awards; bidders must maintain a 9,000-gallon minimum inventory and identify a primary distribution facility within 500 miles of Austin. The City of Tampa ITB 25-P-00157, originally posted April 24, 2026 with an April 9, 2025 due date, targets 32 medical and first aid supply items with an estimated $100,000 annual budget; the procurement includes set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering 5% bid discounts capped at $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. Recent activity under this code is minimal and lacks clear thematic coherence with the code's nominal scope.
