UNSPSC 51172407: Aluminum hydroxide/calcium carbonate/magnesium hydroxide

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 GA102. This VA Drug Class (GA102) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ALUMINUM/CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM CONTAINING ANTACIDS.

UNSPSC 51172407 Aluminum hydroxide/calcium carbonate/magnesium hydroxide is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The most recent opportunities—offender drug testing services, therapeutic pharmacy initiatives, and generic pharmaceutical supply—involve no purchase or specification of aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate, or magnesium hydroxide compounds. The code appears to be misapplied to pharmaceutical and testing services procurement that fall outside the chemical compound's actual scope.

No state and local solicitations in the recent-opportunities block request these antacid or buffering compounds for any application. The source shows no geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or representative procurement activity relevant to the code's nominal product line. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy-application error in the underlying procurement database or that state and local governments do not actively solicit these specific chemical compounds through visible RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITT vehicles.
