UNSPSC 51162309 Acetaminophen/chlorpheniramine is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical products and over-the-counter medications procured by state and local health agencies, counties, and cooperative purchasing alliances to support community health programs and multi-jurisdictional distribution networks. State and local buyers under this code are sourcing generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through both direct procurement and cooperative purchasing arrangements, with vendors required to maintain cGMP certification, FDA compliance, Drug Supply Chain Security Act adherence, and established relationships with authorized wholesalers to ensure product availability and supply-chain integrity across participating jurisdictions.

Recent activity spans Florida and Minnesota through a cooperative purchasing vehicle. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026 seeking 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, and a two-year initial contract term with one-year renewal option. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued RFP S1070000015802 in January 2026 to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local facilities including Oregon; the RFP required responses by March 26, 2026, with product availability mandated by May 15, 2026, and resulting contracts effective July 1, 2026. MMCAP's evaluation criteria weighted price competitiveness at 75 percent, fixed pricing at 10 percent, and compliance with administrative requirements, EDI capability, and fee structure at 5 percent each, with awarded vendors required to maintain $5 million commercial general liability coverage and accept a 3 percent administrative fee on all purchases.
