UNSPSC 51162207 Cetyl alcohol/colfosceril palmitate/tyloxapol is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical active ingredients and surfactants used in respiratory and topical formulations, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct procurement. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued a Request for Proposal in January 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products to be distributed across participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon. The procurement seeks manufacturers and vendors to supply finished pharmaceutical products with specified National Drug Codes, packaging configurations, and manufacturing certifications including compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act. Vendors must maintain relationships with at least two of three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC) and offer pricing in multiple formats including flat price, net price, or WAC-minus structures.

MMCAP's activity represents the primary recent state and local procurement signal under this code. The RFP, posted January 20, 2026, with proposals due March 26, 2026, targets multistate cooperative purchasing participation and carries a two-year initial contract term with optional extensions through June 30, 2028. Evaluation emphasizes price competitiveness (75 percent weighting), with remaining points allocated to fixed pricing, administrative compliance, EDI capability, and acceptance of a 3 percent administrative fee. Awarded vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance including $5,000,000 commercial general liability, $2,000,000 network security and privacy liability, and $2,000,000 professional liability. The solicitation does not disclose specific award values or budget ranges, and the code shows no other recent state or local opportunities, suggesting limited direct demand for this specific active ingredient at the state and local procurement tier.
