UNSPSC 51472300: Antiseptic borates and chlorine-based compounds and heavy metals and herbal preparations

This classification denotes antiseptic drugs made from or based in part on borates and chlorine-based compounds and heavy metals and herbal preparations

UNSPSC 51472300 Antiseptic borates and chlorine-based compounds and heavy metals and herbal preparations is a Class code under which state and local governments procure chemical products for facility operations, water treatment, and maintenance — specifically chlorine gas cylinders for pool operations and janitorial chemicals for fire rescue and public facilities. The code captures both specialized industrial chemicals (elemental chlorine in regulated containers) and general-use antimicrobial or disinfectant supplies for government operations. Issuing bodies include city departments (Parks and Recreation), county government agencies (Fire Rescue), and likely school districts and water authorities, though recent opportunities show limited activity. Work centers on supply contracts for consumable chemicals on an as-needed basis, with pricing and delivery terms negotiated as fixed-price, per-unit, or volume-tiered arrangements.

Recent activity is sparse. The City of Pittsburgh Department of Parks and Recreation posted IFB 2026-IFB-098 in October 2026 for chlorine gas cylinders (150-pound containers meeting AWWA B301 specifications, at least 99.9% pure) to support seasonal pool operations, with an anticipated initial order of 75 cylinders and up to 250 during May through September, under a two-year contract with optional renewals and DBE participation goals (18% minority-owned, 7% women-owned, 5% veteran-owned, 3% LGBTQIA+). Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00319 in July 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies on an as-needed basis to support 47 fire stations operating 24/7, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year and no guaranteed minimum purchase quantities. Geographic activity centers on Pennsylvania and Florida, though the code's recent opportunities do not support a broader regional characterization.
