UNSPSC 51192417 Ascorbic acid/folic acid/iron (Commodity) encompasses pharmaceutical-grade vitamin and mineral supplements that state and local governments procure for public health programs, nutritional intervention initiatives, and direct distribution to vulnerable populations including pregnant women, children, and low-income residents. The code captures bulk purchases of combination micronutrient formulations—primarily ascorbic acid (vitamin C), folic acid (vitamin B9), and iron compounds—supplied as tablets, capsules, powders, or liquid preparations to meet clinical and preventive nutrition standards.
