UNSPSC 51131519 Sodium ferric gluconate, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement activity with a significant mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical scope and recent solicitation tagging. The single recent opportunity — Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline — is tagged to procure law enforcement equipment for thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada, not pharmaceutical products. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope of sodium ferric gluconate, an iron supplement used in clinical settings.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is administering the law enforcement equipment solicitation on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County in Washington state and numerous other jurisdictions nationwide. The cooperative purchasing vehicle extends eligibility to higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. The solicitation does not identify set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, specific award values, or budget ranges. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; no bid documents are available through Washington's Electronic Business Solutions system. Questions should be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The resulting contract will establish a framework for participating entities to access law enforcement equipment through a participating addendum structure, but the code's pharmaceutical designation does not align with the work actually being solicited.
