Visualization polymeric agent. The silicone oil replaces the vitreous permanently.

UNSPSC 51241139 Sterile silicone oil is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses pharmaceutical and over-the-counter products sourced through multistate cooperative purchasing frameworks. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued an RFP in January 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products to be distributed across participating state and local government facilities, indicating that the code captures bulk pharmaceutical sourcing rather than the narrowly specified product name alone. State and local buyers under this code include state agencies and participating local governments within cooperative purchasing alliances; MMCAP's participation by Minnesota and Oregon signals regional coordination across state lines. Vendors must hold current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) certification and Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance, maintain contractual relationships with at least two of three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson), and carry comprehensive insurance including commercial general liability of $5 million per occurrence, network security and privacy liability of $2 million, and professional liability of $2 million.

MMCAP's RFP closed to questions on February 18, 2026, with proposals due March 26, 2026, and awarded vendors to be provided to wholesalers by May 15, 2026, with contract effectiveness set for July 1, 2026. The procurement emphasizes price competitiveness (75 percent of evaluation weight), followed by fixed pricing (10 percent), compliance with EDI capability and administrative-fee format requirements (5 percent each), and agreement to a 3 percent administrative fee (5 percent), with pricing options including flat price, net price formats, or WAC-minus structures. The contract term is two years for new responders with optional extensions at MMCAP's discretion, or aligned with existing expiration dates through June 30, 2028 for incumbent amendments. Proposals must be submitted through ePro in Google Chrome with pricing and product data in designated Excel/CSV format to MMCAP_Infuse.RFP@state.mn.us, and all products must comply with FDA requirements and maintain minimum one-year expiration dates from manufacture with six-month shelf life.
