UNSPSC 51171507: Hydrotalcite

This classification denotes an antacid preparation with the molecular formula CH7AlMgO10-4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 17432CG1KU, chemically known as aluminum;magnesium;carbonate;heptahydroxide but generally known as hydrotalcite, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 24838866. European Medicines Agency schedules Hydrotalcite in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08071MIG.

UNSPSC 51171507 Hydrotalcite, a Commodity code, shows limited direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code involve offender drug testing services, pharmaceutical direct-to-manufacturer procurement strategy, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals distribution—none of which center on hydrotalcite as a chemical input or finished product. The Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department RFP seeks specimen collection staffing and drug testing lab services (immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation); the Texas HHS Commission RFI explores direct contracting models for prescription fulfillment; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance RFP establishes contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through authorized wholesalers. None of these solicitations explicitly specify hydrotalcite procurement or reference it as a component or input material.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual recent opportunities suggests this commodity code does not reflect current state and local buying patterns in the sample. Collin County (Texas) issued the most concrete recent procurement under the code tag—a $600,000, two-year drug testing services contract (RFP 2026-327, due July 23, 2026)—but the work involves lab operations and staffing, not chemical supplies. Activity appears concentrated in Texas and Minnesota, with Texas HHS and MMCAP (a multi-state cooperative anchored in Minnesota) as the issuing bodies. No evidence supports active hydrotalcite procurement or material cost components in the current opportunities sample.
