UNSPSC 51192460: Calcium carbonate/calcium gluconate lactate

Calcium is a mineral that is found naturally and is necessary for many normal functions especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium carbonate/calcium gluconate lactate is a combination of inorganic salts used for the prevention and treatment of calcium deficiency, osteoporosis and for the treatment of rickets and osteomalacia.

UNSPSC 51192460 Calcium carbonate/calcium gluconate lactate is a Commodity code. State and local governments show minimal recent procurement activity under this specific code, and the available opportunities are only tangentially related or completely unrelated to the nominal commodity. Of the sixteen tracked opportunities posted between January and July 2026, only two—Seminole County's procurement of naloxone and drug deactivation systems (IFB, due July 26, 2023) and the City of Tucson Fire Department's solicitation for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals and supplies (RFP 260305, due June 24, 2026)—involve medical pharmaceuticals or supplies at any level. The Tucson opportunity includes calcium gluconate only as one of 251 line items in a much broader emergency medical services supply contract; the Seminole County opportunity centers on naloxone and drug deactivation systems, which diverge significantly from calcium carbonate or gluconate-based products. The remaining fourteen opportunities consist of vendor networking events (reverse trade shows, meet-and-greets, and educational forums), a county relocation notice, a forensic drug standards procurement (requiring certified reference materials for analysis rather than therapeutic pharmaceuticals), and unrelated health services or engineering solicitations. These do not meaningfully signal state and local demand for calcium carbonate or calcium gluconate lactate products.

Geographic activity is sparse and diffuse. The two pharmaceutical-adjacent opportunities appear in Florida (Seminole County) and Arizona (Tucson), with no discernible concentration or pattern suggesting sustained demand under this code. The bulk of recent state and local procurement notices in the source reflect business development and vendor education events rather than active sourcing of specific commodity categories. If calcium carbonate or gluconate lactate products are being purchased by state and local governments, they are either being coded under different UNSPSC categories, being absorbed into bundled medical supply or pharmacy contracts, or generating minimal standalone solicitation activity. The code itself may be underutilized by state and local procurement offices relative to broader pharmaceutical or medical supply classifications.
