UNSPSC 51303609: Benzalkonium/cetylpyridinium/chloroxylenol/triacetin

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 DE102. This VA Drug Class (DE102) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIFUNGAL, TOPICAL.

UNSPSC 51303609 Benzalkonium/cetylpyridinium/chloroxylenol/triacetin (Commodity) covers antimicrobial and antiseptic active ingredients and formulations, but the recent state and local opportunities indexed under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH1061 solicits liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment phosphorus removal, while the City of Tampa's ITB 25-P-00157 requests a broad range of first aid and medical supplies including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, and emergency items for fire rescue operations. Neither opportunity reflects the specific active-ingredient compounds the code name describes. The Tampa solicitation does include antiseptic sprays as one line item among 32 medical supplies, but the dominant procurement is medical aid consumables for emergency response, not targeted antimicrobial chemical compounds. Issuing bodies are municipal purchasing offices — Austin Water (wastewater utility) and Tampa Fire Rescue — conducting routine consumables procurement through standard bid processes.

The two opportunities span Texas and Florida with no clear geographic concentration. The Austin alum bid (due August 25, 2026) applies local and small-business discounts (5% and 3% respectively on bids under $500,000) and requires NSF approval, AWWA B403 compliance, Texas municipal references, and firm pricing for 12 months with PPI-capped adjustments thereafter. The Tampa medical supplies bid (due April 9, 2025, now closed) allocated a $100,000 department budget, included City-certified small local business and underutilized minority-owned enterprise set-asides with bid discounts up to $20,000, and required nine-month minimum expiration dates on medications. This code shows little relevant recent activity — the indexed opportunities are mismatched to the commodity's stated scope, suggesting either tagging error in the source system or minimal procurement volume under the intended chemical active-ingredient classification.
