UNSPSC 51192300: Combination electrolytes/minerals

This classification denotes combination drugs and preparations that dissociate into two or more ions in water, often used in fluid therapy, or resotoration of both volume and composition of body fluids, hence the term electrolytes; or b) combination drugs and preparations that consist of native, inorganic or fossilized organic substances having a definite chemical composition, called MINERALS.

Typical combination electrolyte/mineral constituents are calcium, chloride, chromium, copper, cupric chloride, cupric sulfate, magnesium, potassium, potassium citrate, sodium chloride, and sodium fluoride.

UNSPSC 51192300 Combination electrolytes/minerals is a Class code encompassing chemical supply for municipal water treatment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and healthcare facility operations. State and local governments buy sodium bisulfite and related mineral compounds under this code for water pollution control facilities, and they source generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products through cooperative purchasing alliances that reach multiple state and local healthcare systems. Issuing bodies include municipal water utilities, state departments of administration managing cooperative purchasing vehicles, and multi-state alliances serving participating government facilities.

Recent activity shows two distinct market segments: direct municipal procurement for chemical commodities, and cooperative-purchasing aggregation for pharmaceutical products. The City of Meriden, Connecticut posted an IFB for sodium bisulfite chemical supply (B02715, due July 29, 2026) to support its Water Pollution Control Facility, requiring performance and payment bonds and insurance coverage of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 in General Liability. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued an RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) to establish multi-award pharmaceutical supply agreements serving state and local government facilities across Minnesota and Oregon; MMCAP requires vendors to maintain $5,000,000 in commercial general liability coverage, supply through three authorized wholesalers, and certify cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act compliance, with products effective July 1, 2026. Geographic activity spans Connecticut and the upper Midwest through cooperative arrangements, with MMCAP's multi-state reach extending procurement across participating jurisdictions.
