UNSPSC 51241535 Lanolin/mineral oil/petrolatum is a Commodity code that captures topical pharmaceutical and over-the-counter products containing these base ingredients, which state and local health agencies procure for distribution through authorized pharmaceutical wholesalers. State and local governments source these products as components of broader multi-source pharmaceutical and OTC product portfolios distributed across government health facilities, correctional systems, and public health programs. The work involves identifying compliant manufacturers, establishing pricing agreements, and ensuring supply chain compliance with FDA requirements and Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) certification. Issuing bodies under this code include state health departments, multistate cooperative purchasing alliances administering on behalf of participating member jurisdictions, and affiliated local government facilities within those cooperative networks.

Minnesota's Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued a Request for Proposal on January 20, 2026 (due 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. Vendors must supply products through three authorized wholesalers—AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (Cencora), Cardinal Health 110 and 112, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC—and demonstrate cGMP certification, DSCSA compliance, pricing flexibility through multiple formats, and contractual relationships with at least two of the three authorized wholesalers with chargeback systems in place. The contract term is two years for new vendors, with optional extensions at MMCAP's sole discretion, and includes performance penalties ranging from $200 to $1,500 per violation. Evaluation weights price competitiveness at 75 percent, with the remainder distributed across fixed pricing, administrative fee compliance, EDI capability, and a mandatory 3 percent administrative fee agreement.
