European Medicines Agency schedules Glutaral in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07943MIG.

UNSPSC 51472001 Glutaral is a Commodity code covering chemical disinfectants and sterilizing agents procured by state and local governments for facility sanitation, medical sterilization, and operational cleaning. State and local jurisdictions soliciting under this code include county governments, cooperative purchasing alliances, and health and safety departments. The scope of work spans procurement of glutaral-based solutions for janitorial operations at public facilities including fire rescue stations, hospitals, and health departments, typically on an as-needed consumables basis with requirements for new, unused products in original packaging and authorized distributor status.

Recent activity shows glutaral specifications embedded within broader janitorial and pharmaceutical procurement frameworks rather than as standalone line items. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00319 on July 7, 2026 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies to serve 47 fire stations, with bids due July 24, 2026 and an estimated one-year contract value of $765,679.84; the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued an RFP in January 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products with a March 26, 2026 deadline, specifying compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act, with contract term of two years effective July 1, 2026. The code shows activity concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest, with Hillsborough County in Florida and MMCAP serving participating state and local facilities across Minnesota, Oregon, and other member jurisdictions. Bidders must meet requirements including authorized distributor status, chain-of-custody documentation, standard delivery within ten days, and FDA compliance with minimum six-month shelf life where pharmaceutical applications are involved.
