UNSPSC 50501807: Micronutrition powder

Multiple micronutrient powder is a combination of at least iron, zinc, and vitamin A. It is used to prevent malnutrition in children and during health emergencies. The target age group is generally that 6 month to 5 years of age.

UNSPSC 50501807 Micronutrition powder is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fortified powder supplements and nutritional additives for institutional feeding programs, particularly in school districts, corrections departments, and public health agencies. The code captures purchases of powdered micronutrient formulations — including vitamin and mineral blends, protein-fortified powders, and specialized nutritional supplements — intended for bulk dispensing or incorporation into meal programs rather than retail consumer packaging. Issuing bodies under this code span school districts managing child nutrition programs, state departments of corrections for inmate feeding, state health departments supporting WIC and SNAP-related nutrition initiatives, and county social services agencies operating congregate meal sites. These are typically consumable commodity buys with recurring annual or multi-year demand cycles.
