UNSPSC 50501603: Nutritional fluoride 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. Dietary fluoride supplements in the form of tablets, lozenges, or liquids (including fluoride-vitamin preparations) are used primarily for children in areas without fluoridated drinking water. The supplements prevent cavities in permanent teeth.

UNSPSC 50501603 Nutritional fluoride supplement is a Commodity code that covers fluoride supplements and related products procured by state and local health departments, school districts, and public health agencies for community water fluoridation programs, dental health initiatives, and public health distribution. State and local governments buy fluoride tablets, drops, gels, and powders under this code, primarily for preventive dental care delivery to populations without access to fluoridated water systems or as part of organized public health campaigns targeting children and vulnerable populations. Issuing bodies include state health departments, county health agencies, municipal public health offices, and independent school districts operating school-based dental and health programs.

The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code, so current market activity under UNSPSC 50501603 cannot be characterized by geography, issuing-body concentration, or representative recent solicitations.
