UNSPSC 50501703 Nutritional protein supplement is a Commodity code that covers protein-enriched nutritional products procured by state and local health, education, and social-services agencies for supplemental feeding programs, institutional meal service, and therapeutic nutrition support. State and local governments purchase these products—typically powdered or ready-to-drink formulations—for distribution through programs serving vulnerable populations including children in school meal programs, elderly residents in long-term care facilities, and participants in nutrition assistance initiatives. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments of health and human services, county social-services offices, city public-health divisions, independent school districts, and regional nutrition programs.
