UNSPSC 51172317 Copper sulfate is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant state and local procurement activity based on recent solicitations. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code are drug testing services (Collin County), direct-to-manufacturer pharmaceutical purchasing programs (Texas HHS), and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance) — none of which involve copper sulfate as a procurement commodity. The code's nominal designation as copper sulfate does not align with the actual scope of work being solicited under it, suggesting either a tagging error in state and local procurement systems or a divergence between the code's chemical commodity scope and how issuing bodies are classifying pharmaceutical and testing services procurement.

Recent activity touches three distinct issuing bodies across two states: Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department in Texas (RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services, due July 23, 2026, estimated value $600,000), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (RFI HHS0017013 for direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, posted March 27, 2026), and the Minnesota Department of Administration administering MMCAP (RFP S1070000015802 for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products, due March 26, 2026). No opportunities in the available records actually solicit copper sulfate or related chemical commodities. If pursuing state and local work under this code, verify whether issuing bodies in your target geography tag copper sulfate procurement under this UNSPSC designation, as current market activity does not reflect pharmaceutical or testing-service scope.
