UNSPSC 51241417: Chloroxylenol/resorcinol/sulfur

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 51241417 Chloroxylenol/resorcinol/sulfur is a Commodity code whose recent activity shows minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The single substantive opportunity in the recent record is the City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) used at wastewater treatment facilities to remove soluble phosphorus from activated sludge processes — a chemical coagulant for municipal water and wastewater treatment, not antimicrobial or anthelmintic compounds. The second opportunity, Tampa Fire Rescue's ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays and first aid kits, is similarly unrelated to the code's stated chemical constituents. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the opportunities tagged to it do not reflect the intended scope of chloroxylenol, resorcinol, or sulfur-based products.

The Austin solicitation is the only substantive match to water and wastewater treatment applications under this code. Austin Water sought unpackaged liquid aluminum sulfate at 47%–49% concentration for delivery to its wastewater treatment facility, with an estimated annual consumption of 179,200 gallons. Bidders were required to hold NSF approval and comply with AWWA B403 standards, maintain minimum inventory of 9,000 gallons at distribution locations, and locate a primary facility within 500 miles of Austin. Local business and small business preferences applied (5% discount for local businesses on bids up to $500,000, declining to 3% at higher thresholds), and responses were due August 25, 2026. The mismatch between the code's chemical name and actual procurement activity suggests that either the code is misapplied in state and local systems or the code's scope has drifted from current use cases.
