UNSPSC 51471700: Antiseptic acids

This classification denotes antiseptic drugs made from chemical compounds which yield hydrogen ions or protons when dissolved in water, whose hydrogen can be replaced by metals or basic radicals, or which react with bases to form salts and water.

UNSPSC 51471700 Antiseptic acids is a Class code that covers consumable chemical products for cleaning, disinfection, and operational use across state and local government facilities, particularly fire rescue departments, health systems, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing programs. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses janitorial and operational supplies (including disinfectants and antiseptic products) procured on an as-needed basis for high-volume, continuously staffed facilities, as well as generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products distributed through state and local health networks. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners managing emergency services, state procurement offices administering multi-state cooperative purchasing alliances, and health system networks serving multiple participating jurisdictions. The mix reflects both direct procurement by individual counties and centralized cooperative purchasing models that aggregate demand across state and regional partners.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and Minnesota. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies on July 7, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026, for delivery to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa; the estimated annual contract value is $765,679.84 with standard ten-day delivery required to support 47 fire stations operating 24/7. The Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, administering the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), issued an RFP on January 20, 2026, for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products with a March 26, 2026 proposal deadline; the contract is effective July 1, 2026, across Minnesota, Oregon, and other participating MMCAP members, requiring vendors to supply through three authorized drug wholesalers and certify compliance with cGMP and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act.
