UNSPSC 51131525: Ferrous fumarate

Ferrous fumarate is a medicine used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anaemias.

UNSPSC 51131525 Ferrous fumarate is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the pharmaceutical iron supplement product itself. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span emergency medical services pharmaceuticals and supplies, long-term care facility pharmacy services, naloxone distribution, forensic reference materials for drug analysis, and procurement infrastructure events—none of which involve ferrous fumarate procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns suggests this Commodity code either sees limited activity under its intended classification or is inconsistently applied by issuing bodies in practice.

The geographic spread of opportunities in the broader pharmaceutical and medical supply categories shows activity across Florida (Collier County, Seminole County, Palm Bay), Wisconsin (Dane County), Oregon (Washington County), Kentucky (Owensboro), California (San Mateo), Arizona (Tucson), Texas (West Texas Centers, Bernalillo County), Colorado (Denver area), and the District of Columbia. Representative recent solicitations include Dane County's RFP for pharmaceutical services to Badger Prairie Health Care Center due October 22, 2026, covering drug distribution and medication management; the City of Tucson Fire Department's RFP for BLS and ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and vending machines due June 24, 2026, with federal ARPA and DBE compliance requirements; and West Texas Centers' RFP for prescription and pharmacy services across 35 sites in 23 counties due August 21, 2026. No recent state or local opportunities specifically solicit ferrous fumarate, iron supplements, or commodity pharmaceutical ingredients under this code classification.
