UNSPSC 51461524 Hydrastis, a Commodity code, addresses the procurement of hydrastis (goldenseal root), an herbal botanical product used in state and local health, wellness, and alternative medicine contexts. State and local governments procure hydrastis primarily through health departments, public health agencies, and educational institutions supporting herbalism or naturopathic training programs. The product is sourced as dried root material or processed extract, typically for use in public health clinics, community health centers, or curriculum support in accredited herbal medicine and naturopathy educational settings.

Firms evaluating this code should monitor state health department solicitations, county public health RFQs, and educational institution purchasing notices for herbal medicinal materials, though activity levels appear low relative to other botanical and wellness-product categories.
