UNSPSC 51131806: Ferric subsulfate

This classification denotes a hemostatic agent, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 3QJ8WS6V8H. European Medicines Agency schedules Ferric subsulfate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB33641. Ferric subsulfate generally arises in the molecular formula 4FE.5O4S.2HO. The term 'ferric subsulfate' is a U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention designation. As of Q4 2014, FERRIC SUBSULFATE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity.

UNSPSC 51131806 Ferric subsulfate is a Commodity code for a chemical agent used in limited state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows no substantive solicitation directly seeking ferric subsulfate as a standalone product or chemical reagent for state and local purchase. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative purchasing unit, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, with response due June 16, 2026; this solicitation is structured to serve thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and other public entities across the United States and Canada, but the scope targets broad law enforcement equipment solutions rather than chemical products or ferric subsulfate specifically.

The geographic coverage of the Sourcewell cooperative spans Washington state and extends nationwide, reflecting its multi-state participating entity model, but the specific law enforcement equipment solicitation does not identify ferric subsulfate or related chemical agents as part of its procurement scope. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition in state and local markets, and the single recent opportunity tagged to this code appears to represent a mismatch between the code classification and the actual procurement need.
