UNSPSC 51172827 Potassium nitrate/sodium fluoride is a Commodity code representing individual pharmaceutical and over-the-counter (OTC) chemical formulations procured by state and local government healthcare systems, public agencies, and cooperative purchasing alliances. State and local governments buy individual active pharmaceutical ingredients and finished OTC products under this code for distribution through authorized pharmaceutical wholesalers to state facilities, local health departments, school districts, and other public health programs. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, represents the type of issuing body active in this space—multistate cooperative purchasing entities that aggregate demand across participating state and local jurisdictions to secure volume pricing and standardized supply agreements for pharmaceutical products.

The most recent sourcing activity centers on a Request for Proposal issued January 20, 2026 by MMCAP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, with proposals due March 26, 2026. MMCAP's RFP targets manufacturers capable of supplying finished pharmaceutical products through three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation/Cencora, Cardinal Health 110 and 112, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC) across participating states including Minnesota and Oregon, with awarded vendors effective July 1, 2026 under a two-year contract term. The procurement emphasizes cGMP compliance, Drug Supply Chain Security Act certification, EDI capability, and flexible net-price or WAC-minus pricing structures, with evaluation weighted 75 percent on price competitiveness, 10 percent on fixed pricing, 5 percent each on administrative compliance and EDI capability, and 5 percent on acceptance of the 3 percent administrative fee. Recent state and local solicitation activity under this code remains limited; the MMCAP RFP represents a significant cooperative vehicle but does not identify specific geographic concentration beyond Minnesota and Oregon participation.
