UNSPSC 51191918 Folic acid, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of folic acid supplements and formulations for public health, nutrition, and medical support programs. State and local governments buy folic acid primarily through health departments, school districts administering nutrition and wellness initiatives, county public health agencies, and special-purpose districts operating maternal and child health programs. The code covers folic acid in various forms — tablets, capsules, liquid formulations, and bulk powder — supplied to clinics, schools, emergency response stockpiles, and community health centers. Procurement volumes range from single-unit clinical orders to large-quantity bulk purchases for district-wide or statewide nutrition intervention programs, particularly those targeting pregnant women, children, and populations at risk for nutritional deficiency.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. Without posted solicitations naming issuing bodies, response dates, or transaction amounts, geographic activity and representative recent procurement activity cannot be characterized from available records.
