UNSPSC 51451501: Dichlorophen

This classification denotes an antihelminthic agent with the molecular formula C13H10Cl2O2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier T1J0JOU64O, chemically known as 5,5-dichloro-2,2-dihydroxydiphenylmethane but generally known as dichlorophen, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3037. European Medicines Agency schedules Dichlorophen in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07085MIG.

UNSPSC 51451501 Dichlorophen (Commodity) does not reflect the actual pharmaceutical and public-health products that state and local governments are sourcing under this code designation. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers procuring antimicrobial pharmaceuticals (doxycycline hyclate, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride), naloxone, and drug deactivation systems—products unrelated to dichlorophen's nominal chemical scope. The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida represent the issuing-body types active here: state health departments and county governments executing competitive procurements through traditional IFB and piggyback cooperative-purchasing vehicles. The award to Chartwell Rx LLC by Illinois DPH on August 28, 2026, for $2,999,999.11 over three contract years demonstrates state-level pharmaceutical sourcing at meaningful scale; Seminole County's concurrent naloxone and deactivation-systems procurement (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) signals county health and emergency-response demand.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast, with documented opportunities in Florida and Illinois. The Illinois DPH pharmaceutical warehouse award, executed through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative consortium, indicates state-health-system reliance on piggyback contracting for bulk pharmaceutical supply; no set-asides were applied. Seminole County's naloxone procurement required E-Verify compliance, drug-free workplace certification, and compliance with federal environmental regulations (Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act), suggesting FEMA involvement. Both opportunities used fixed-fee pricing models with multi-year initial terms and renewal options. The code's mismatch with actual solicitation scope makes UNSPSC tracking unreliable for forward planning—verify commodity codes against recent RFQs and IFBs from state health departments and county procurement offices before pursuing.
