UNSPSC 51181617 Methylthiouracil is a Commodity code covering the supply of specific pharmaceutical products to state and local government facilities. State and local purchasing under this code centers on generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products distributed through authorized wholesalers to public healthcare and correctional systems. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, represents the primary issuing body for recent activity, soliciting manufacturers to supply pharmaceuticals with comprehensive pricing structures, product documentation including National Drug Codes and SKUs, and compliance certification for current Good Manufacturing Practices and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act. Vendors must maintain relationships with authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation / Cencora, Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC), demonstrate electronic data interchange capability, and carry insurance coverage including $5,000,000 commercial general liability and $2,000,000 network security and privacy liability. Products must be available in the marketplace with a minimum six-month shelf life and expiration dates at least one year from manufacture.

MMCAP's RFP issued January 20, 2026, with proposals due March 26, 2026, seeks multiple contract awards across participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon. Evaluation weighs price competitiveness at 75 percent, fixed pricing at 10 percent, and compliance with administrative fee format, EDI capability, and the 3 percent administrative fee structure at 5 percent each. The contract term runs two years for new vendors with optional extensions at MMCAP's sole discretion; incumbent responders' amendments align with existing expiration dates through June 30, 2028. Performance penalties range from $200 to $1,500 per violation for late reporting, missed onboarding, or improper class-of-trade denials. The RFP does not identify specific set-aside designations or budget ranges.
