UNSPSC 23151810: Sterile or aseptic processing or filling machines

UNSPSC 23151810 Sterile or aseptic processing or filling machines is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers full-line medical supplies and equipment distribution, including gloves, personal protective equipment, needles, syringes, wound care products, patient point-of-care testing supplies, specimen collection supplies, hospital furnishings, breast pumps, and surgical instruments. The code appears primarily in cooperative purchasing vehicles serving large multi-jurisdictional memberships. The Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), operating under the State of Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, represents the dominant recent buyer, seeking full-line medical supplies and equipment distributors with the capacity to serve approximately 8,000 actively purchasing government members across the United States and generating approximately $300 million in collective annual purchasing power within the medical supply portfolio. Vendors must demonstrate a secure online product ordering system, capacity to supply at least twenty states, ability to establish chargeback relationships with manufacturers, and a minimum of four years of domestic operations with average monthly sales of at least $2 million and at least 750 active ship-to locations monthly. Value-added services such as third-party logistics, white glove delivery, direct-to-patient shipping, equipment maintenance and repair, software solutions, and custom kitting are optional. Proposals are evaluated on technical proposal (60 percent) and cost proposal (40 percent), with additional consideration for past performance.

Recent activity centers in Minnesota through the state's cooperative purchasing infrastructure. MMCAP issued an RFP (Solicitation Number S1070000017226) for medical supplies with a response deadline of July 20, 2026 at 2 p.m. Central Time, requiring an Excel cost template, technical proposal questionnaire, and certification exhibits addressing lobbying, workforce and equal pay declarations, and non-collusion; questions were due June 30, 2026 with final answers posted July 7, 2026. The initial contract term is four years with options for up to thirty-six months of extensions in increments determined by MMCAP, and all awarded vendors must pay a three percent administrative fee on all member purchases. A second solicitation posted May 12, 2026 by Sourcewell (Sourcewell Procurement RFP #061626) for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline, while tagged with this UNSPSC code, does not reflect the sterile processing or medical supply scope; this appears to be a coding mismatch rather than relevant activity under the code's actual commodity scope.
