UNSPSC 51201802 Filgrastim is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific biopharmaceutical — a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor used to treat chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. However, the recent state and local contract opportunity tagged to this code does not reflect pharmaceutical procurement; instead, Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) to establish a cooperative purchasing agreement for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, along with numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The mismatch between the code's stated pharmaceutical scope and the actual solicitation suggests either a tagging error in the state and local system or a data inconsistency. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal purpose of biopharmaceutical procurement.

The single opportunity on file reveals a cooperative purchasing structure rather than direct state or local agency procurement. Sourcewell is the contracting vehicle, advertising under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), with the resulting contract reserved for potential future utilization through participating addenda across a broad spectrum of public sector organizations including governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. Geographic scope spans Washington counties plus entities throughout the United States and Canada. No set-aside designations, budget ranges, incumbent vendors, or specific award values are identified in available documentation. Vendors must submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov and direct inquiries to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
