UNSPSC 50501601: Nutritional calcium supplement

Mineral 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. Calcium is needed for muscle, heart and digestive system health, builds bone, supports synthesis and function of blood cells.

UNSPSC 50501601 Nutritional calcium supplement, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of calcium dietary supplements that state and local governments buy for health programs, nutritional services, and employee wellness initiatives. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health departments, municipal health agencies, school districts operating nutrition and student wellness programs, and regional public health authorities. The work involves sourcing finished calcium supplement products in various forms—tablets, capsules, powders, or liquids—typically in bulk quantities for distribution through public health clinics, school meal programs, senior services, and occupational health offerings. Specifications often call for USP or NSF certification, defined potency and bioavailability standards, and compliance with FDA dietary supplement regulations.

No recent state or local contract opportunities are present in the source data for this code. The absence of recent solicitation activity suggests limited procurement volume or frequency under this Commodity code within the state and local market during the current tracking window.
