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 GA105. This VA Drug Class (GA105) classifies this compound as belonging to the group CALCIUM CONTAINING ANTACIDS.

UNSPSC 51172453 Calcium carbonate/glycine is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve drug testing services (Collin County, Texas), a pharmacy benefit management information request (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and generic pharmaceutical and OTC product distribution (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). None of these solicitations procure calcium carbonate or glycine as consumable goods; the code's nominal chemical commodities do not match the scope of work actually being solicited.

The issuing bodies represent state health and human services agencies and county criminal justice departments, with one multistate cooperative purchasing vehicle spanning Minnesota and Oregon. The geographic footprint includes Texas (Collin County and state HHS) and the Upper Midwest (Minnesota-led cooperative). Because recent activity in this code reflects misclassification or incidental use rather than primary procurement of the named commodity, the code shows little relevant market opportunity for vendors supplying calcium carbonate or glycine products to state and local governments. Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify categorization in future RFPs and RFQs to confirm actual commodity requirements before responding.
