UNSPSC 51472901 Iodine is a Commodity code representing chemical and pharmaceutical inputs that state and local governments acquire as components within broader operational and medical supply chains. Recent solicitations show the code applied to two distinct procurement contexts: janitorial and operational consumables sourced by county fire-rescue operations, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products distributed through state and local healthcare facilities. The issuing bodies span county government purchasing offices and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances administering on behalf of multiple state and local members, indicating that iodine and iodine-containing products move through both direct county procurement and consolidated cooperative vehicles that serve broader state and local networks.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Minnesota, with the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) administering an RFP posted January 20, 2026 (due March 26, 2026) to establish multiple contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, with products required to be available in the marketplace by May 15, 2026 and awarded vendors to supply through AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC.
