UNSPSC 51151606 Tropicamide, a Commodity code, covers pharmaceutical supply agreements for generic ophthalmic mydriatics and other pharmaceutical products sourced through cooperative state and local procurement frameworks. State and local governments use this code to establish contracts with pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors that supply generic medications, including tropicamide and related products, through authorized wholesale channels to support public health facilities, clinics, and emergency services across multiple jurisdictions. The issuing bodies pursuing pharmaceuticals under this code include state procurement offices administering multistate cooperative purchasing alliances, which aggregate demand across member states and local health agencies to achieve volume-based pricing and supply-chain efficiency.

The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, posted an RFP (S1070000015802) on January 20, 2026 to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products with a response deadline of March 26, 2026. MMCAP's RFP requires vendors to supply pharmaceuticals through three authorized wholesalers—AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (Cencora), Cardinal Health 110 and 112, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC—and mandates cGMP certification, Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance, and pricing flexibility through flat-price, net-price, or WAC-minus structures. Awarded vendors will receive allocation by May 15, 2026 with contracts effective July 1, 2026; evaluation weights 75 percent on price competitiveness, 10 percent on fixed pricing for contract term, and 5 percent each on administrative compliance, EDI capability, and acceptance of a 3 percent administrative fee. Vendors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of $5,000,000 per occurrence and professional liability of $2,000,000. Contract term runs two years for new responders with optional extensions, or through June 30, 2028 for incumbents. The RFP names Oregon as a participating jurisdiction alongside Minnesota member states, indicating geographic reach across the Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest.
