UNSPSC 51284804: Chlorhexidine gluconate/ispropyl alcohol

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 DE101. This VA Drug Class (DE101) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIBACTERIAL, TOPICAL.

UNSPSC 51284804 Chlorhexidine gluconate/isopropyl alcohol is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect significant misalignment with the code's nominal scope. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride tablets—antibiotics unrelated to chlorhexidine-based antiseptic preparations. Seminole County, Florida similarly posted an IFB for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems, which serve opioid-overdose intervention and pharmaceutical disposal, not skin antisepsis. Neither opportunity aligns with the antimicrobial skin-prep or wound-irrigation products that chlorhexidine gluconate/isopropyl alcohol compounds typically serve in healthcare procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted suggest either systematic tagging errors by issuing bodies or a shift in how state and local procurement offices classify pharmaceutical products under UNSPSC.

Without recent opportunities that authentically reflect chlorhexidine gluconate/isopropyl alcohol procurement, geographic concentration, issuing-body patterns, and representative work scope cannot be accurately characterized from the source. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify current procurement activity through direct inquiry to state health departments, hospital purchasing groups, and county procurement offices rather than rely on the present tagged record.
