UNSPSC 51172805 Alcohol/fluoride is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products, particularly through cooperative purchasing arrangements. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, is the primary issuing body reflected in current activity, sourcing generic multi-source drugs and OTC items for distribution across participating state and local facilities. Vendors must meet stringent regulatory and operational requirements including cGMP certification, Drug Supply Chain Security Act compliance, and contractual relationships with authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation / Cencora, Cardinal Health 110 and 112, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC) equipped with chargeback systems. Products must possess FDA approval, minimum one-year expiration dates from manufacture, and six-month shelf life. Vendors must carry workers' compensation insurance, $5,000,000 commercial general liability, $2,000,000 network security and privacy liability, and $2,000,000 professional liability. Pricing structures include flat price, net price formats (NF30, NF60, NF90), or WAC-minus arrangements, with evaluation weighted heavily toward price competitiveness (75 percent), followed by fixed pricing, EDI capability, administrative fee agreement, and compliance with data format requirements.

All vendors must pay a 3 percent administrative fee on purchases and face performance penalties of $200 to $1,500 per violation for late reporting, missed onboarding timelines, or improper class-of-trade denials.
