UNSPSC 51303608 Benzalkonium/cetylpyridinium/chloroxylenol/sodium/triacetin is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows minimal activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code diverge sharply from the chemical compound it names: one solicitation covers liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment phosphorus removal, and the other covers a broad bundle of first aid and medical supplies including antiseptic sprays, pain relievers, bandages, and emergency blankets. Neither opportunity centers on the specific antimicrobial or disinfectant formulations the code's title suggests, indicating either broad tagging practices by issuing bodies or limited actual procurement under this precise commodity specification. State and local governments appear to source these products through water utilities, public health departments, and emergency services rather than through dedicated procurement channels for specialty antimicrobial compounds.

The two opportunities originate from different issuing bodies and regions: the City of Austin Water Utility (Texas) posted an IFB for approximately 179,200 gallons of liquid aluminum sulfate annually, due August 25, 2026, with local and small business preferences available (5% discount for local businesses and small businesses up to $500,000, 3% on larger awards); the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department (Florida) posted an ITB for medical aid supplies with a $100,000 annual budget, due April 9, 2025, with set-asides and bid discounts for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises. Geographic activity under this code is currently sparse, with no evidence of repeat buyers or clustering across states.
