UNSPSC 51302701: Chlorocresol

This classification denotes an anti-infective agent with the molecular formula C7H7ClO, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 36W53O7109, chemically known as phenol, 4-chloro-3-methyl- but generally known as chlorocresol, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 1732. European Medicines Agency schedules Chlorocresol in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06191MIG.

UNSPSC 51302701 Chlorocresol is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure chemical products for water treatment and facility maintenance. Recent solicitations tagged under this code show a significant mismatch with the nominal product scope: the Austin Water solicitation concerns liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment, while the Tampa Fire Rescue opportunity covers medical aid supplies including bandages, antiseptic sprays, and first aid kits. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with chlorocresol's actual use cases in disinfection or preservation applications. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities and fire departments, reflecting the broad but scattered application of chemistry-coded commodities across city departments.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida based on recent postings. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 solicited 179,200 gallons of liquid aluminum sulfate annually, due August 25, 2026, with local and small business preferences available (5% discount for local businesses in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA and 3% for small businesses on bids up to $500,000). The City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies, due April 9, 2025, included 32 line items with an estimated annual budget of $100,000 and set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises. Neither opportunity represents typical chlorocresol procurement, suggesting the code may be misapplied in state and local systems or that chlorocresol-specific opportunities remain inactive or posted under alternative classifications.
