UNSPSC 50501604: Nutritional iodine 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. Iodine is required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine and to prevent goiter, and also for mammary and salivary glands and for gastric mucosa and immune system (thymus).

UNSPSC 50501604 Nutritional iodine supplement is a Commodity code covering iodine-based nutritional products procured by state and local health departments, school districts, and public health agencies. State and local governments purchase iodine supplements primarily for public health programs, school nutrition initiatives, and supplementation in populations at risk for iodine deficiency, though the code also covers over-the-counter iodine supplement products used in institutional and clinical settings. Issuing bodies include state departments of health, county health departments, and independent school districts managing nutrition and wellness programs for students and vulnerable populations. The code sees activity across multiple jurisdictions, though no single repeat buyer dominates recent solicitations.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to this code, indicating minimal current procurement activity under UNSPSC 50501604. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs, the code does not support a geographic concentration assessment or representative recent opportunity example at this time.
