UNSPSC 51271501: Chlorobutanol

This classification denotes an industrial aid with the molecular formula C4H7Cl3O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier HM4YQM8WRC, chemically known as 1,1,1-trichloro-tert-butyl alcohol but generally known as chlorobutanol, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5977. European Medicines Agency schedules Chlorobutanol in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06190MIG.

UNSPSC 51271501 Chlorobutanol is a Commodity code under which state and local government procurement offices buy chlorobutanol—a halogenated organic compound used primarily as a preservative and antimicrobial agent in pharmaceutical formulations, ophthalmic solutions, and injectable preparations. The code captures purchases of this chemical reagent when procured as a finished input material for medical, pharmaceutical, or laboratory use rather than as a raw feedstock for industrial synthesis. State and local health departments, public hospital systems, and centralized pharmaceutical procurement cooperatives source chlorobutanol to support compounding operations, vaccine preparation, and ophthalmic product formulation. School districts and public safety agencies also acquire the material for laboratory or occupational-health applications when their procurement systems tag such purchases to this commodity code. The chemical is typically sourced in bulk quantities and subject to pharmaceutical-grade purity and stability requirements, with procurement tied to inventory replenishment cycles and compliance with USP or equivalent monographs.

The source material contains no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 51271501. Without posted solicitations or awarded-contract notices, the current market activity under this Commodity code cannot be characterized by issuing body, geographic concentration, or representative opportunity details. Buyers pursuing this code should monitor state pharmaceutical cooperative purchasing portals, individual state health department solicitations, and public hospital system RFQs for material replenishment cycles, as chlorobutanol procurement typically follows predictable inventory-management timelines rather than episodic, high-visibility procurements.
