UNSPSC 51171502 Magaldrate is a Commodity code that covers antacid and digestive aid products supplied to state and local institutions. In recent state and local procurement activity, the code appears primarily in food service and nutrition contexts at institutional facilities rather than as a standalone pharmaceutical or over-the-counter product line. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include state health and human services agencies, state departments of criminal justice, school districts, and state supported living centers. The work involves supplying consumable products for institutional food service operations, with magaldrate appearing as one item within broader grocery, food, and consumable procurement categories that serve inmate populations, patients, and schoolchildren across multiple facility types and geographic regions.

Recent solicitations under this code originate from Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) and the earlier version HHS0016792 and HHS0016792V2 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center and state hospitals statewide, with line items spanning fresh, frozen, and processed foods alongside consumable supplies. The Texas Comptroller's office, on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, with approximately 382 line items and delivery to multiple TDCJ distribution points statewide. Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for food supply to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens and a central warehouse. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items across snack, produce, grain, dairy, and prepared entree categories for approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast daily participants. Douglas County Schools in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, and an earlier RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools and approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million.
