UNSPSC 51241510 Boric acid/potassium chloride/sodium carbonate is a Commodity code under which state and local governments solicit generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products distributed through cooperative purchasing agreements. The recent activity shows that issuing bodies use this code to procure multi-source pharmaceutical products for health systems, hospitals, correctional facilities, and other state and local government healthcare operations. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, represents the primary issuing body visible in current solicitations and acts as a vehicle for participating states and local facilities to aggregate pharmaceutical demand across multiple jurisdictions.

MMCAP's RFP S1070000015802 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, posted January 20, 2026 with proposals due March 26, 2026, is the representative recent opportunity under this code. The solicitation requires vendors to supply products through three authorized wholesalers—AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (Cencora), Cardinal Health 110 and 112, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC—and mandates compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act. Evaluation criteria emphasize price competitiveness (75 percent weight) alongside fixed pricing, EDI capability, administrative fee acceptance, and format compliance. Products must be available in the marketplace by May 15, 2026, with contract effectiveness July 1, 2026, and the contract term runs two years for new vendors with optional extensions. Vendors must carry commercial general liability insurance of $5,000,000 per occurrence and professional liability of $2,000,000, and are subject to performance penalties of $200 to $1,500 per violation. The cooperative agreement spans Minnesota and Oregon, reflecting the multistate purchasing structure typical of MMCAP activity.
