UNSPSC 51241523 Edetate disodium/sodium chloride/sodium phosphate is a Commodity code covering injectable pharmaceutical formulations used in clinical settings, most actively solicited through cooperative purchasing agreements that aggregate demand across multiple state and local health systems. State and local governments buy these products as part of broader pharmaceutical procurement initiatives; the recent activity shows demand flowing through established wholesaler networks rather than direct manufacturer-to-agency purchasing. The issuing bodies under this code include state departments of administration and health, participating state and local healthcare facilities, and regional cooperative purchasing alliances that negotiate contracts on behalf of multiple member jurisdictions and agencies.

The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued an RFP (S1070000015802) on January 20, 2026, with a response deadline of March 26, 2026, to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon. The solicitation requires vendors to meet cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance, maintain relationships with at least two of three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation/Cencora, Cardinal Health 110 and 112, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC), and submit detailed product specifications including NDC codes and packaging configurations. Evaluation weights 75 percent on price competitiveness, 10 percent on fixed pricing for the contract term, and 5 percent each on administrative fee format compliance, EDI capability, and agreement to a 3 percent administrative fee. Products must be available in the marketplace by May 15, 2026, with contract awards effective July 1, 2026. Vendors must carry $5 million commercial general liability, $2 million network security and privacy liability, and $2 million professional liability coverage, and face performance penalties of $200 to $1,500 per violation. The contract term is two years for new responders with optional extensions, or alignment with existing expiration dates through June 30, 2028 for incumbent amendments.
