UNSPSC 51473004 Benzethonium is a Commodity code representing antimicrobial preservative and disinfectant chemical compounds that state and local governments procure as components within janitorial, operational, and facility-maintenance supply bundles. State and local buyers do not typically solicit benzethonium as a standalone chemical; instead, they tag finished products — disinfectant sprays, hand sanitizers, surface cleaners, and preservation agents for consumable supplies — with this code when the products contain benzethonium as an active ingredient. Counties, municipalities, and public-safety agencies source these supplies on an as-needed basis through competitive sealed bids, often bundling them with broader janitorial and operational consumables to meet ongoing facility-cleaning and sanitation requirements.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 26-00319 in July 2026 seeking competitive sealed bids for consumable janitorial and operational supplies for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department, which operates 47 fire stations around the clock. The estimated contract value was $765,679.84 for a one-year term with bids due July 24, 2026. All products were required to be new, unused, and in original packaging; bidders had to be authorized distributors and capable of standard delivery within ten days or emergency delivery within five business days to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida. The County reserved the right to award by line item, group, section, or overall net bid price, and no minimum purchase quantities were guaranteed. No recent opportunities beyond this single solicitation appear in the source.
