UNSPSC 51302001: Caprylic acid or Octanoic acid

This classification denotes a saturated fatty acid and medium chain fatty acid with the molecular formula C8H16O2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier OBL58JN025, chemically known as octanoic acid, zinc salt but generally known as caprylic acid, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 379. European Medicines Agency schedules Caprylic acid in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB11786MIG.

The term OCTANOIC ACID is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN (see WHO INN reference publication, Volume 38, No. 6, 1984, List 24). SMILES: OC(=O)CCCCCCC.

UNSPSC 51302001 Caprylic acid or Octanoic acid is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two state and local opportunities tagged to this code—a City of Austin procurement for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) for wastewater treatment and a City of Tampa Fire Rescue procurement for medical aid supplies—fall outside the chemical family described by the code's name. The Austin opportunity is a water-treatment chemical unrelated to caprylic or octanoic acid; the Tampa opportunity involves medical and first aid supplies entirely disconnected from either compound. Neither solicitation represents the commodity scope the code nominally covers.

No recent state and local contract opportunities for caprylic acid or octanoic acid itself appear in the source material. Without concrete solicitation activity aligned to the code's actual product scope, the geographic distribution, issuing-body mix, and representative buying patterns cannot be characterized from the available data.
