UNSPSC 50501501: Vitamin A supplement

Vitamin supplements are used to ensure that adequate amounts of nutrients are obtained on a daily basis, if optimal amounts cannot be obtained through a varied diet. Vitamin A is a group of nutritionally unsaturated hydrocarbons that includes retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and several provitamin A carotenoids including beta-carotene.

UNSPSC 50501501 Vitamin A supplement is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure vitamin A nutritional supplements, typically for distribution through public health programs, school nutrition initiatives, and institutional feeding operations. The code encompasses vitamin A products in various forms — tablets, capsules, liquid formulations, and fortified foods — supplied to health departments, schools, correctional facilities, and social-service agencies for population health interventions, dietary deficiency correction, and nutritional support. Issuing bodies range from state departments of health and education to county health offices, municipal health agencies, and independent school districts operating breakfast and lunch programs.

The recent-opportunities block contains no posted state or local solicitations under this code. Without active RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB records, no geographic concentration, repeat buyers, response dates, or representative examples can be identified from current market activity.
