UNSPSC 51162209 Dextrose/theophylline (Commodity) covers generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products that state and local governments procure through cooperative purchasing agreements and direct pharmaceutical supply contracts. State and local buying under this code reflects the pharmaceutical sourcing patterns of state health departments, corrections systems, public health agencies, and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances that aggregate demand across member jurisdictions. The scope encompasses branded and generic formulations, injectables, oral medications, and topical preparations supplied through established wholesaler networks with compliance to cGMP and FDA requirements, including Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) certification and product-safety documentation such as expiration-date guarantees and shelf-life minimums.

The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued a Request for Proposal (S1070000015802) on January 20, 2026 to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products serving participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota, Oregon, and other member jurisdictions. The RFP, due March 26, 2026, requires vendor submission of comprehensive product and pricing information for identified National Drug Codes through authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation/Cencora, Cardinal Health 110 and 112, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC), with awards effective July 1, 2026. Evaluation is weighted 75 percent on price competitiveness, 10 percent on fixed pricing for contract term, and 10 percent on administrative and technical compliance (EDI capability, administrative-fee commitment, and data-format adherence). The contract term runs two years for new vendors with optional MMCAP extensions, and vendors must maintain commercial general liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence and network security and privacy liability of $2,000,000.
