UNSPSC 51191918 Folic acid is a Commodity code that captures purchases of folic acid supplements and pharmaceutical-grade folic acid products by state and local health agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities. State and local governments procure folic acid primarily for public health initiatives, prenatal and maternal health programs, nutritional supplementation in correctional and residential settings, and disease-prevention efforts targeting populations at risk for folate deficiency. The code also covers bulk folic acid tablets, capsules, and liquid formulations used in dispensary and clinical settings operated by state health departments and local public health authorities.

The source material contains no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to this code, and therefore provides no basis for characterizing the issuing-body mix, geographic spread, or representative recent procurements under UNSPSC 51191918.
