UNSPSC 51474000: Combination antiseptics, ceruminolytics, and disinfectants

This classification denotes a) combination drugs used on humans and other animals that destroy harmful microorganisms or inhibit their activity and thereby achieve asepsis, hence the term ANTISEPTICS; or b) combination drugs used on inanimate objects that destroy harmful microorganisms that cause infectious diseases, or inhibit their activity, hence the term DISINFECTANTS.

Typical combination antiseptic and disinfectant constituents are formaldehyde and isopropyl alcohol; or c) ombination drugs that reduce production of or remove yellow or brown waxy secretions from vestigial apocrine sweat glands in the external ear canal, secretions called cerumen, hence the terms CERUMINOLYTIC or CERUMINOLYTICS. Typical combination ceruminolytic constituents are carbamide peroxide and polyethylene glycol 400.

UNSPSC 51474000 Combination antiseptics, ceruminolytics, and disinfectants is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity spans medical aid supplies, first-aid materials, and antiseptic products purchased by fire departments, police departments, and health agencies. The code shows limited recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope; the three opportunities in the current block reflect divergent buying patterns—only one procurement (Tampa Fire Rescue's medical aid supplies bid) involves the antiseptic and disinfectant products the code nominally describes, while the others address athletic training services and pharmacy benefit management respectively. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city fire and rescue departments, municipal procurement offices, and state health agencies.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, Florida, and Texas. The Tampa Fire Rescue Department's Invitation to Bid 25P00157, posted April 24, 2026 with a due date of April 9, 2025, sought 32 medical and first aid supply items including antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, bandages, and first aid kits, with an estimated annual department budget of $100,000 and set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises offering 5% bid discounts. The code shows minimal recent activity directly linked to its antiseptic and disinfectant scope; the two other opportunities tagged to this code (Tucson's athletic training services RFP and Texas HHS Commission's pharmacy initiative RFI) fall outside the products and services the code describes.
