The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, is the primary issuing body visible in recent activity. MMCAP issued an RFP in January 2026 (S1070000015802) to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products, with response due March 26, 2026, that structures procurement through three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation / Cencora, Cardinal Health 110 and 112, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC). The solicitation requires vendors to supply products identified by National Drug Code, with evaluations weighted heavily on price competitiveness (75 percent) and compliance with cGMP, FDA requirements, and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act. Awarded contracts become effective July 1, 2026, for a two-year term, and vendors must maintain $5 million in commercial general liability coverage, $2 million in network security and privacy liability, and $2 million in professional liability. The RFP does not disclose specific award values or budget ranges. Participating states include Minnesota and Oregon, with the agreement extending to state and local government facilities across MMCAP's membership footprint.
