UNSPSC 51241910: Cholecalciferol/fish liver oil

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE350. This VA Drug Class (DE350) classifies this compound as belonging to the group EMOLLIENTS.

UNSPSC 51241910 Cholecalciferol/fish liver oil is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little alignment with its nominal scope. The two opportunities posted under this classification—one for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment phosphorus removal and one for medical aid supplies including bandages, pain relievers, and first aid kits—bear no relation to vitamin D supplements or fish liver oil products. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied in the issuing systems or represents an archival categorization not reflecting current procurement practice. State and local governments may purchase cholecalciferol or fish liver oil products for institutional food service, dietary supplement programs, or health department initiatives, but no recent opportunities in the dataset support activity under this code.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix cannot be characterized from decision-relevant activity. The City of Austin issued IFB 2200 CSH1061 for liquid aluminum sulfate with bids due August 25, 2026, and the City of Tampa issued ITB 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies with a bid opening originally dated April 9, 2025, but neither procurement aligns with the code's defined commodity. Practitioners evaluating this code should flag the misclassification with state and local procurement offices and search under alternative UNSPSC codes or commodity descriptions for vitamin and nutritional supplement procurement if that activity is relevant to their market focus.
