UNSPSC 51241708 Edta/polyquarternium-1/sodium chloride is a Commodity code that in practice captures generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products distributed through state and local government facilities. State procurement agencies and cooperative purchasing alliances are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with multistate consortia administering procurement on behalf of participating state departments, counties, and local government entities. The work involves establishing supplier contracts for pharmaceutical products with specified National Drug Codes (NDCs), requiring vendors to provide detailed product information, maintain cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance, and distribute through authorized wholesalers using established chargeback systems.

The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued a Request for Proposal (S1070000015802) in January 2026 to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products serving participating state and local government facilities, including Oregon. Proposals were due March 26, 2026, with evaluation weighted 75 percent on price competitiveness, 10 percent on fixed pricing for the contract term, and the remainder on administrative compliance, EDI capability, and administrative fee agreement. Vendors must maintain contractual relationships with at least two of three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen/Cencora, Cardinal Health, or Morris & Dickson) and carry comprehensive insurance including $5 million commercial general liability and $2 million network security and privacy liability. The contract term is two years for new responders with optional extensions, and awarded vendors become effective July 1, 2026. No specific set-aside designations were disclosed in the solicitation materials, and award values were not published.
