UNSPSC 51473704 Sodium hypochlorite, a Commodity code, encompasses disinfectant and cleaning chemical supplies that state and local governments procure for operational use across public facilities. Recent solicitations show sodium hypochlorite being purchased as part of broader janitorial and operational supply contracts for fire rescue departments, public health facilities, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing agreements serving state and local government entities. The code captures both direct chemical procurement and bundled janitorial-supply contracts where bleach and related disinfectants function as line items alongside soaps, sanitizers, and facility-maintenance products. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (specifically Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida) and state-level cooperative purchasing alliances such as the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), which coordinates procurement across participating state agencies and local government members in multiple states including Minnesota and Oregon.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB2600319 on July 7, 2026, seeking consumable janitorial and operational supplies on an as-needed basis for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department, with bids due July 24, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year. MMCAP issued an RFP (S1070000015802) in January 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and contract awards effective July 1, 2026, establishing vendor relationships across authorized wholesalers for distribution to state and local facilities across the participating cooperative membership. Recent activity centers in Florida and the upper Midwest (Minnesota, Oregon), with sodium hypochlorite procurement driven primarily by operational demand from emergency services and multi-facility health and safety programs rather than by concentrated seasonal or project-based cycles.
