UNSPSC 51471905: Ethyl alcohol antiseptic

A type of alcohol-based antiseptic that kills microorganisms by dissolving their membrane lipid bilayer and denaturing their proteins, and is effective against most bacteria and fungi and viruses. A solution of 70% ethanol is more effective than pure ethanol because ethanol relies on wsater molecules for optimal antimicrobial activity.

UNSPSC 51471905 Ethyl alcohol antiseptic is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure disinfectant and sanitizing products for operational use across facilities and departments. Recent solicitations show the code capturing ethyl alcohol-based antiseptic supplies as line items within broader janitorial and operational consumables contracts. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and similar county purchasing offices drive demand under this code, buying on an as-needed basis for fire rescue, public safety, and general facility maintenance operations. Products must meet stringent requirements including new, unused, original packaging condition; authorized distributor status; and chain-of-custody documentation. Standard delivery typically runs within ten days of purchase order receipt, with emergency fulfillment within five business days to designated public facilities.

Hillsborough County, Florida represents the most recent and concrete market signal under this code. The County issued ITB 26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies on July 7, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026, supporting an estimated one-year contract value of $765,679.84 for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's 47 fire stations operating continuously. Delivery is coordinated to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, with pricing quoted free-on-board destination and all shipping and warranty costs included. The County reserves the right to award by line item, group or section, or overall net bid price, and the contract may be shared with members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms. No minimum purchase quantities are guaranteed, and bidders must provide Drug-Free Workplace Certification and Substitute W-9 documentation to compete.
