UNSPSC 51191919: Iron sucrose

This classification denotes a nutritional supplement, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier FZ7NYF5N8L. European Medicines Agency schedules Iron sucrose in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB16439MIG. Iron sucrose generally arises in the molecular formula C12H22O11.5FE.2NA.8O.HO.3H2O. The term 'iron sucrose' is a Japanese Accepted Name designation. As of Q4 2014, IRON SUCROSE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity.

Iron sucrose bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0060241 and NCI Concept Code C65963. SMILES: C(C1C(C(C(C(O1)OC2(C(C(C(O2)CO)O)O)CO)O)O)O)O.[O-2].[O-2].[O-2].[FE+3].[FE+3].

UNSPSC 51191919 Iron sucrose is a Commodity code nominally designating pharmaceutical iron supplementation products, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal alignment with the code's stated scope. The City of Meriden's July 2026 IFB for sodium bisulfite (chemical supply for water pollution control) and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's January 2026 RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products represent the available recent activity, neither of which matches iron sucrose as a procurement driver. The Meriden opportunity targets chemical treatment supplies for municipal water infrastructure; the MMCAP solicitation addresses broad pharmaceutical and OTC distribution across state and local healthcare facilities through authorized wholesalers. Neither captures iron sucrose as a specified commodity or a principal line item.

The geographic spread evident in recent activity spans Connecticut (Meriden municipal) and Minnesota (MMCAP cooperative, with Oregon participation noted). No pattern of repeat buyers or sustained demand for iron sucrose itself emerges from the posted opportunities. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this UNSPSC designation may not reflect how state and local governments are currently procuring iron sucrose or related pharmaceutical iron products, or that procurement volume under this specific code remains minimal in the visible state and local market.
