UNSPSC 51192416 Ascorbic acid/ferrous sulfate/folic acid is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement formulations combining vitamin C, iron, and folate—compounds commonly dispensed through public health programs, correctional facilities, and school-based wellness initiatives. State and local governments procure these combination products primarily for maternal and child health programs, anemia treatment protocols, and preventive supplementation in underserved populations. Issuing bodies include state health departments, county public health agencies, municipal clinics, state correctional departments, and independent school districts operating free or reduced breakfast and lunch programs. The code reflects procurement of finished pharmaceutical products rather than raw chemical inputs, typically supplied in tablet, capsule, or liquid formulations ready for direct dispensing.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to this code. Without documented solicitation activity, the geographic concentration and current market interest cannot be characterized from available records. Buyers evaluating this code should verify whether state health procurement offices, county jail medical programs, or school nutrition departments are actively sourcing these combination formulations under this specific UNSPSC designation or routing purchases through broader vitamins-and-supplements codes, cooperative purchasing agreements, or pharmaceutical-supply frameworks instead.
