FYI
如果确定substance是液体，可以译为“活性物质原液”，否则用“原料”比较保险。

活性成分
根据下列FDA定义active substance=active ingredient，就是活性成分，但是有的药厂将它称为“活性物质”，甚至“活性物资”。
Bulk Drug Substance: According to 21CFR207.3(a)(4) means any substance that is represented for use in a drug and that, when used in the manufacturing, processing, or packaging of a drug, becomes an active ingredient or a finished dosage form of the drug, but the term does not include intermediates used in the synthesis of such substances.

Bulk 不一定总是翻译成“散装”，如果你点击下列链接，你会看到这种bulk材料是pachaged 到小桶中的。

我理解，无论其包装形式为何，制药用的原料在制成成品前都成为Bulk， 颇有“原”的含义。题主的这个短语中用了bulk，主要是用于区别是原料中的活性成分还是成品中的活性成分。如果整个短语翻译为“原料活性物质/原料活性成分”，bulk 的含义已经包含在其中了。

在药厂，确实有把这种东西称为“原液”的，因为那些药厂用的active substance确实是液态。但是，active substance可以是液态，也可以是固态，比较保险的做法是翻译成“原料活性物质”/活性成分。

因为题主的文章中曾有”B28 and B38 Hepatitis A bulk manufacturing facilities“这样的说法，估计两处的bulk 是同一个意思，都不宜翻译为”散装“。
