UNSPSC 51191704: Multiple electrolyte solutions

This classification denotes alkalinizing agents composed of mixtures of substances that dissociate into two or more ions, to some extent, in water.

UNSPSC 51191704 Multiple electrolyte solutions is a Commodity code encompassing chemical solutions and pharmaceutical products used by state and local government facilities for water treatment, medical, and operational purposes. Recent solicitations show two distinct application streams: municipal water pollution control facilities procuring specialized treatment chemicals like sodium bisulfite, and multi-state health systems and government institutions acquiring generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products through cooperative purchasing agreements. State and local issuing bodies under this code span municipal water utilities, state health departments, and multi-state cooperative purchasing alliances coordinating procurement across participating jurisdictions and member facilities.

Recent activity includes the City of Meriden soliciting sodium bisulfite chemical supply for its Water Pollution Control Facility under IFB B027-15 with bids due July 29, 2026, and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issuing an RFP to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products effective July 1, 2026, with a response deadline of March 26, 2026. The MMCAP procurement is designed to serve participating state and local government facilities, including Oregon, through three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC), and requires vendors to certify compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act. Activity under this code appears concentrated in the Upper Midwest and Northeast, with Connecticut and Minnesota representing the most recent documented opportunities.
