This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE400. This VA Drug Class (DE400) classifies this compound as belonging to the group SOAPS/SHAMPOOS/SOAP-FREE CLEANSERS.

UNSPSC 51473901 Acetone/alcohol is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code span wildly divergent work: a District Attorney's dog acquisition, athletic training services for public safety personnel, and medical aid supplies for a fire department. Only the third opportunity—the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's procurement of medical aid supplies—falls within the acetone/alcohol product category, suggesting significant tagging misalignment in the underlying opportunities database. The Tampa solicitation sought 32 medical and first aid items including antiseptic sprays and hydrogen peroxide through an ITB, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per line item and a department budget of $100,000, supporting an inference that state and local governments do procure chemical supplies for emergency response under this code when correctly classified.

Recent activity appears scattered across the Southwest and Pacific Northwest, with the City of Tampa (Florida), City of Tucson (Arizona), and Washington County, Oregon each posting one opportunity in the past six months. The Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157 closed April 9, 2025, with set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises offering bid discounts up to $20,000. The code shows no discernible concentration among issuing bodies—fire/emergency services, police, and county general administration are each represented once. The substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and two of the three posted opportunities suggests that buyers may be misapplying this code or that the opportunities dataset contains classification errors; prospective vendors should verify actual scope before pursuing leads tagged to this code.
