UNSPSC 51192413 Ascorbic acid/ferrous fumarate is a Commodity code for a pharmaceutical ingredient combination that state and local governments procure as part of nutritional supplementation and public health programs. The code captures ferrous fumarate—an iron supplement—combined with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to enhance iron absorption. State and local health departments, school districts, correctional facilities, and social services agencies use this combination in nutrition assistance, maternal health, anemia prevention, and institutional feeding programs. The pairing reflects standard pharmaceutical formulation practice: ascorbic acid improves bioavailability of ferrous iron, making the supplement more effective for populations at risk of iron deficiency, including pregnant women, children, and inmates.
