UNSPSC 51472802: Chlorhexidine gluconate

This classification denotes an anti-infective agent with the molecular formula C22H30Cl2N10.2C6H12O7, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier MOR84MUD8E, chemically known as 2,4,11,13-tetraazatetradecanediimidamide, n,n-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3,12-diimino-, di-d-gluconate but generally known as chlorhexidine gluconate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5360565. European Medicines Agency schedules Chlorhexidine gluconate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB01215MIG.

UNSPSC 51472802 Chlorhexidine gluconate, a Commodity code, describes an antimicrobial disinfectant chemical that state and local governments procure as a consumable operational supply for healthcare facilities, fire departments, and correctional institutions. The work entails supplying chlorhexidine gluconate in various formulations and concentrations to support infection control, wound care, oral hygiene, and equipment sterilization protocols across public-sector operations. Issuing bodies span county governments and state purchasing cooperative alliances; fire and emergency services departments represent a notable buyer segment, alongside public health agencies and institutional operations that rely on standardized pharmaceutical and OTC product procurement through multistate cooperative vehicles.

Recent opportunities show chlorhexidine gluconate embedded within larger consumable-supply and generic-pharmaceutical aggregations rather than as standalone line items. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 2600319 on July 7, 2026, for janitorial and operational supplies totaling an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department, with bids due July 24, 2026; chlorhexidine gluconate appears as one component within the broader janitorial category. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued RFP S1070000015802 on January 20, 2026, for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products available to participating state and local government facilities, with proposals due March 26, 2026, and awarded vendors to take effect July 1, 2026. Geographic activity reflects the Midwest and Southeast, with MMCAP's scope extending across multiple states including Oregon. Procurement activity under this code tends to consolidate chlorhexidine gluconate within larger commodity bundles rather than as a specialized single-product contract.
