UNSPSC 51285600: Antibacterial alcohols

This classification denotes antibacterials composed of alkyl compounds containing a hydroxyl group, substances called alcohols

UNSPSC 51285600 Antibacterial alcohols is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The two opportunities on record involve pharmaceutical products — antibiotic tablets (doxycycline and ciprofloxacin) and naloxone plus drug deactivation systems — none of which fall within the scope of antibacterial alcohols. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2.999 million piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC for antibiotic tablets with a 12-month initial term and two renewal options, while Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually. These mistagged records reflect warehousing and supply-chain procurement by a state health department and a county public health organization, but they do not represent actual demand for antibacterial alcohols.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. Recent opportunities are concentrated in Florida and Illinois and involve health department and county health authority procurement of finished pharmaceuticals and medical devices rather than the chemical or topical products this Class code nominally covers. State and local procurement activity under this code warrants direct monitoring of health departments, counties, and special districts — particularly those with public health and emergency management portfolios — but the current record does not establish a meaningful pipeline for antibacterial alcohol suppliers.
