UNSPSC 50501610: Nutritional potassium 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. Potassium is a systemic electrolyte and is essential in coregulating ATP with sodium.

UNSPSC 50501610 Nutritional potassium supplement is a Commodity code covering potassium supplement products procured by state and local health, corrections, and human services agencies. State and local governments buy potassium supplements primarily through health departments, prison and jail systems, and social service agencies to support inmate nutrition programs, community health initiatives, and medical necessity distributions. The products range from tablet and capsule formulations to powder and liquid forms, often purchased in bulk quantities under standing orders or annual supply contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, county jails, state health departments, and municipal health clinics, with corrections systems representing the largest procurement category.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to this code, making current market activity unclear. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs in the recent-opportunities block, no geographic concentration or representative solicitations can be identified. Firms pursuing this code should monitor state corrections procurement offices and county health purchasing portals directly, as volume contracts for inmate nutrition programs often post on agency-specific platforms rather than centralized notice boards.
