UNSPSC 51472002 Glutaraldehyde is a Commodity code covering disinfectant and sterilizing agents used in janitorial, healthcare, and facility maintenance operations. State and local governments procure glutaraldehyde primarily as a component of consumable janitorial and operational supply contracts supporting fire rescue departments, public safety facilities, and county administrative operations. The work involves supplying new, unused products in original packaging through authorized distributors on an as-needed basis, with typical requirements for rapid fulfillment (standard delivery within ten days, emergency delivery within five business days) and stringent chain-of-custody documentation. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments and their constituent departments, particularly fire rescue and public safety operations that maintain 24/7 facility staffing and therefore require reliable, consistent access to disinfecting supplies.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted the most recent solicitation activity under this code: an ITB (Invitation for Bid) for janitorial and operational supplies issued July 7, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026, supporting the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's 47 fire stations across the Tampa, Florida area. The estimated contract value was $765,679.84 for a one-year period. Bidders must be authorized distributors capable of providing backorder, recall, and chain-of-custody information, with all deliveries coordinated to the Public Safety Operations Complex at 9440 East Columbus Drive, Tampa, Florida and delivery windows limited to 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday. The County reserves the right to award by line item, group, section, or overall net bid price and does not guarantee minimum purchase quantities.
