UNSPSC 51472102: Triclocarban

This classification denotes an anti-infective agent with the molecular formula C13H9Cl3N2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier BGG1Y1ED0Y, chemically known as 3,4,4-trichlorodiphenylurea but generally known as triclocarban, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 7547. European Medicines Agency schedules Triclocarban in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB11271MIG.

UNSPSC 51472102 Triclocarban, a Commodity code, covers antimicrobial active pharmaceutical ingredients and personal care additives that state and local governments procure as components within broader janitorial, operational, pharmaceutical, and over-the-counter product supply contracts. State and local buyers do not typically purchase triclocarban as a standalone ingredient; instead, procurement bodies source finished goods—janitorial supplies, hand soaps, disinfectants, and OTC health products—that may contain triclocarban or equivalent antimicrobial agents. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida), state purchasing coalitions (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance), and participating state and local facility networks. Recent opportunities show county fire rescue departments and state and local health/human services agencies as primary end-users.

Recent activity includes Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing an ITB on July 7, 2026 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies (ITB2600319), due July 24, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for supply to 47 fire stations across a one-year term; and the Minnesota Department of Administration issuing an RFP through MMCAP on January 20, 2026 (S1070000015802) to establish multi-award contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local government facilities, with responses due March 26, 2026 and anticipated awards effective July 1, 2026. Geographic activity centers on Florida and Minnesota, with the MMCAP procurement extending to Oregon and other cooperating jurisdictions. The Minnesota RFP emphasizes price competitiveness (75 percent of evaluation weight) and established relationships with authorized pharmaceutical wholesalers, while the Hillsborough County solicitation prioritizes delivery speed and authorization as approved distributors. Neither opportunity explicitly names triclocarban as a required or preferred ingredient; the code appears to capture the antimicrobial component of broader consumables and pharmaceutical supply contracts rather than standalone procurement of the active ingredient itself.
