UNSPSC 51473008 Lauralkonium, a Commodity code, covers antimicrobial and disinfectant compounds that state and local governments procure as consumable janitorial and operational supplies for public facilities. The code encompasses products used across fire rescue departments, public health systems, and other government operations requiring regular replenishment on an as-needed basis. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments and state-administered cooperative purchasing alliances. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) both currently source these materials through multi-vendor competitive processes.

Recent activity spans Florida and Minnesota. Hillsborough County is seeking competitive sealed bids (ITB 2600319) for consumable janitorial and operational supplies, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year and response due July 24, 2026.

Both opportunities require vendors to be authorized distributors with established supply chains, FDA compliance certification, and the capacity to meet regular delivery commitments with short turnaround times. The Hillsborough County procurement specifies delivery within 10 days standard and five business days for emergency requests to fire stations operating around the clock, while MMCAP requires products available in the marketplace by May 15, 2026 with distribution through three designated wholesalers.
