UNSPSC 51472900: Antiseptic halogens

This classification denotes antiseptic drugs made from a family of nonmetallic, generally electronegative, elements that form group 17 of the periodic table, examples being astatine, bromine, chlorine, fluorine, and iodine.

UNSPSC 51472900 Antiseptic halogens, a Class code, encompasses chemical disinfectants and sanitizing agents that state and local governments procure for facility cleaning, infection control, and operational sanitation. Recent solicitations show concrete demand for halogen-based products—typically iodine, chlorine, and bromine compounds—as consumable supplies for fire rescue departments, hospitals, public health facilities, and other institutional settings where rapid microbial kill and broad-spectrum efficacy are required for both routine cleaning and emergency response scenarios.

State and local governments purchase antiseptic halogens primarily through county purchasing offices and state cooperative purchasing vehicles. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB on July 7, 2026 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies (ITB2600319) valued at $765,679.84 for a one-year contract to serve the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's 47 stations, with bids due July 24, 2026; the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) issued an RFP on January 20, 2026 (S1070000015802) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products including sanitizing agents, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and awards effective July 1, 2026 across participating Minnesota and Oregon facilities. The issuing-body mix reflects county-level procurement alongside state cooperative vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and member states. Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and Minnesota with multistate reach through MMCAP; vendors must be authorized distributors capable of meeting delivery windows of ten days standard or five business days for emergency orders, maintaining chain-of-custody documentation, and pricing products free-on-board destination.
