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 that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline — solicits law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple counties and public entities across Washington state and nationwide. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a pharmaceutical compound used in iron-replacement therapies) and the actual procurement (law enforcement gear) suggests either a tagging error or extremely limited use of this Commodity code in the state and local space. State and local health departments, school districts, and correctional facilities may use heme iron polypeptide products in medical or occupational-health contexts, but no recent opportunities explicitly reflect that demand.

The Sourcewell cooperative vehicle — a Minnesota local government unit advertising under Washington state law (RCW 39.34) — encompasses Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties plus additional jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. Because the single flagged opportunity does not reflect actual pharmaceutical procurement, the geographic and issuing-body profile for this code remains unclear from the available record. Interested vendors should verify whether state and local health authorities, jail health services, or emergency-response units in specific states are actively buying heme iron polypeptide products; this code's current activity does not support that conclusion.
