UNSPSC 51172401: Aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide/magnesium trisilicate

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class GA103. This VA Drug Class (GA103) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ALUMINUM/MAGNESIUM CONTAINING ANTACIDS.

UNSPSC 51172401 Aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide/magnesium trisilicate is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code involve offender drug testing services (Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department), direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). None of these solicitations explicitly reference antacid or alkaline mineral compounds as a primary procurement object; the tagging appears to reflect downstream pharmaceutical-related purchasing rather than direct procurement of the chemical compound itself.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and Minnesota among the recent postings. Issuing bodies span county corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances. Without recent opportunities that directly solicit aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide formulations as standalone products or ingredients, this code shows little concrete market signal for firms specializing in antacid or mineral hydroxide supply to state and local governments. Firms monitoring this code should clarify whether their product line aligns with pharmaceutical supply chains (where demand may be embedded in broader OTC or generic drug contracts) or with direct-procurement models for chemical compounds and raw materials—a distinction the current opportunity mix does not clearly resolve.
