UNSPSC 51102802 Acetic acid/aluminum acetate is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity maps primarily to medical and pharmaceutical supply procurement rather than chemical feedstock or industrial applications. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments buying naloxone, safe drug deactivation systems, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products through cooperative purchasing arrangements. Issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), municipal fire and rescue operations (City of Tampa), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving state and local facilities across multiple states including Oregon). The work ranges from direct procurement of emergency medical supplies with annual renewal options to participation in multi-vendor pharmaceutical supply agreements with volume-based pricing and authorized-wholesaler distribution channels.
