UNSPSC 51191904: Phospholipids

This classification denotes lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol or sphingosine, polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.

UNSPSC 51191904 Phospholipids is a Commodity code covering biochemical compounds used in pharmaceutical formulations, medical devices, and research applications. State and local governments procure phospholipids primarily through university research departments, public health laboratories, and state-operated medical institutions for use in diagnostic testing, vaccine development, and therapeutic research. The code encompasses naturally derived and synthetic phospholipid products, including lecithin-based compounds and specialized liposomal carriers used in clinical and preclinical work.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. Activity in phospholipid procurement at the state and local level remains sparse or unrecorded in available solicitation databases.
