UNSPSC 51471903 Dichlorobenzyl alcohol is a Commodity code covering chemical disinfectants and antimicrobial agents used in janitorial, operational, and healthcare settings across state and local government. State and local procurement under this code reflects demand from county public safety operations, multi-state cooperative purchasing alliances, and healthcare systems seeking bulk supplies of preservatives, sanitizers, and biocides for facility maintenance and pharmaceutical product formulation. Issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices procuring janitorial supplies for fire rescue and law enforcement operations, and state-administered cooperative purchasing alliances aggregating demand across multiple states and member organizations. The work typically involves competitive sealed bids or requests for proposal for consumable chemical products qualified to meet FDA and Good Manufacturing Practices standards, with vendors required to hold authorized distributor status and maintain supply chain documentation including chain of custody and recall capability.

Recent activity centers on Florida and Minnesota-led multi-state arrangements. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00319 on July 7, 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies supporting 47 fire stations operating continuously; bids closed July 24, 2026 with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year and delivery required within 10 days of purchase order to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa.

Both opportunities required new, unused products in original packaging and specified authorized wholesaler or distributor relationships with documented traceability and compliance certification.
