UNSPSC 50501612: Nutritional sodium 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. Sodium is a systemic electrolyte and is essential in coregulating ATP with potassium.

UNSPSC 50501612 Nutritional sodium supplement is a Commodity code covering sodium-based nutritional products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service, medical facilities, and correctional systems. State and local buyers solicit these products through standard procurement channels to support dietary requirements in cafeterias, hospitals, clinics, and detention facilities where sodium supplementation is clinically indicated or required to meet nutritional standards for resident or inmate populations. The code captures both standalone sodium supplements and sodium-fortified food additives used in bulk food preparation.

No recent state and local contract opportunities are currently posted under this code. The sparse or dormant activity suggests either that sodium supplements are typically procured through broader food-service or medical-supply contracts tagged at higher UNSPSC tiers, or that demand at the jurisdiction level is light enough that opportunities do not appear with frequency in public notice streams.
