UNSPSC 51131510: Heme iron polypeptide

This classification denotes an iron supplement, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 31VDO12CJY. As of Q4 2014, HEME IRON POLYPEPTIDE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity.

UNSPSC 51131510 Heme iron polypeptide is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity that matches its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026—concerns procurement of tactical and protective gear for law enforcement agencies, not pharmaceutical or nutritional supplements containing heme iron polypeptide. The mismatch suggests a tagging error in the source record rather than genuine market demand under the code's stated product category.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative acting under Washington state cooperative-purchasing law, issued the law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of Participating Entities spanning Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington state plus numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The resulting contract is intended to serve thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public sector buyers. Vendors were required to submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. No set-asides, award values, or incumbent vendors are named in available documentation. Business development professionals evaluating genuine heme iron polypeptide opportunities should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and rely on primary care, pharmacy, or health-services sourcing channels instead.
