UNSPSC 51241527 Glucose/lanolin/parabens/petrolatum is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure topical pharmaceutical and over-the-counter personal care products, typically as part of multi-source generic procurement consortia that serve hospitals, clinics, correctional facilities, and other public health settings. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, recently issued an RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products with participation from Oregon and other member jurisdictions, requiring vendors to supply through three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation/Cencora, Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC) and to certify compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance, demonstrate EDI capability, and commit to pricing flexibility across flat price, net price, or WAC-minus formats, with evaluation weighted heavily on price competitiveness (75 percent) and administrative compliance (20 percent of remaining weight).

The code shows activity centered in the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest, with MMCAP serving as a cooperative purchasing vehicle spanning multiple states including Minnesota and Oregon. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products is due March 26, 2026, with a question cutoff of February 18, 2026 and contract effectiveness set for July 1, 2026. Awarded vendors will distribute products through the three named wholesalers with a two-year initial term (or aligned extensions for incumbent responders through June 30, 2028), and performance penalties of $200 to $1,500 per violation apply for late reporting, missed onboarding, or improper class-of-trade denials. The RFP does not disclose specific award values or budget ranges, but all submissions require detailed product information including NDC codes, SKUs, and manufacturing locations, with pricing submitted in CSV format and supporting documentation sent to MMCAP_Infuse.RFP@state.mn.us.
