UNSPSC 51471502 Povidone, a Commodity code, covers antimicrobial and disinfectant chemical products that state and local governments procure as consumable supplies for operational and public-health uses. The code appears in both routine janitorial-supply contracts and specialized pharmaceutical procurement frameworks where povidone-based disinfectants and topical agents serve clinical or sanitation functions across fire rescue, healthcare, and institutional facilities.

Issuing bodies using this code span county purchasing offices and state-led cooperative purchasing alliances. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, the sole repeat buyer in recent activity, is actively procuring consumable janitorial and operational supplies including disinfectant products for 47 fire stations operated 24/7 under ITB 26-00319, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 and a response deadline of July 24, 2026. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued a broader RFP on January 20, 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products—including disinfectant and topical preparations—for distribution across participating state and local government facilities, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and contract effectiveness July 1, 2026. Geographic activity centers on Florida and Minnesota, with MMCAP's cooperative framework extending to Oregon and other member jurisdictions. Both solicitations require vendor authorization through established wholesalers, FDA compliance, and cGMP certification; the Hillsborough County procurement emphasizes rapid delivery (10 days standard, five days emergency) and chain-of-custody documentation, while MMCAP's RFP weights price competitiveness at 75 percent and requires manufacturers to maintain contractual relationships with multiple authorized wholesalers and chargeback capabilities.
