UNSPSC 51473901: Acetone/alcohol

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-tier code that shows limited relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code—athletic training services for Tucson Fire and Police, medical aid supplies for Tampa Fire Rescue, and a direct-to-manufacturer prescriptions RFI from Texas HHS—fall outside the nominal scope of acetone and alcohol products. The City of Tucson's RFP for athletic training services requires injury prevention and rehabilitation work with no mention of acetone or alcohol supplies; the Tampa Fire Rescue ITB for medical aid supplies lists antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, and emergency blankets but does not explicitly reference acetone or alcohol as line items; and the Texas HHS RFI addresses pharmaceutical prescription fulfillment and direct manufacturer contracting, which is unrelated to chemical solvents. The code appears to be a classification mismatch in recent state and local procurement databases.

Activity is concentrated in Arizona and Florida, with preliminary interest signals from Texas, though the Texas opportunity is exploratory (RFI stage) rather than a direct procurement. The Tucson Fire and Police athletic training RFP is due June 9, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-submittal meeting on May 19, 2026 and a question deadline of May 26, 2026. The Tampa Fire Rescue ITB for medical aid supplies closed April 9, 2025, and included set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises with bid discounts of up to $10,000 and $20,000 respectively. Because the recent opportunities do not reflect actual procurements of acetone or alcohol products, this code merits close review to confirm whether issuing bodies are consistently applying the correct UNSPSC classification or whether the code itself reflects minimal current state and local demand for these chemical products.
