UNSPSC 51182418: Calcium acetate

This classification denotes a nutritional supplement, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier Y882YXF34X. European Medicines Agency schedules Calcium acetate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB13160MIG. Calcium acetate generally arises in the molecular formula C4H6CAO4. The term CALCIUM ACETATE is a United States Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Name designation. Most nations schedule calcium acetate under HS 29152900 and SITC 51371.

As of Q4 2014, CALCIUM ACETATE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. Calcium acetate bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0717537 and NCI Concept Code C47429. SMILES: CC(=O)[O-].CC(=O)[O-].[Ca+2].

UNSPSC 51182418 Calcium acetate, a Commodity code, nominally denotes chemical compounds used in pharmaceutical and industrial applications, though the recent state and local activity under this code does not reflect procurement of calcium acetate itself. Instead, Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department tagged an RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services under this code—a mismatch that suggests either a data classification error or a vendor bundling of testing supplies with lab services. The actual work solicited is drug screening and confirmation testing for offenders under community supervision, including immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, oral fluid and hair testing, electronic result reporting, and operation of an Interactive Voice Response randomization system. The successful vendor must maintain lab certification from SAMHSA, Texas Department of Public Safety, or CAP and staff two collection sites in Plano and McKinney during business hours plus five Saturdays annually. The issuing body is a county-level community supervision and corrections department within the criminal justice system, drawing funding from Texas Department of Criminal Justice appropriations.

Collin County, Texas represents the only recent opportunity recorded under this code. The RFP 2026-327 sought proposals with a response date of July 23, 2026, an estimated contract value of $600,000 annually, and a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals. Pricing is submitted per test across three service models (screening only, confirmation after screening, or screening with automatic confirmation), with approximately 25,031 tests annually comprising 5,452 five-panel and 18,006 six-panel screens. Award was anticipated August 10, 2026. Given the narrow recent activity and the apparent code misclassification, this code shows limited relevant procurement volume for vendors pursuing calcium acetate sales or related chemical products within state and local markets.
