UNSPSC 51242102 Glycerin/sodium chloride is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical and over-the-counter products procured through cooperative purchasing vehicles by state and local health agencies and facilities. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued an RFP in January 2026 to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products for distribution 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 certify compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). Proposals require detailed product information including National Drug Codes (NDC), stock keeping units (SKUs), universal product codes (UPCs), generic descriptions, strength, dosage form, trade names, packaging configurations, and manufacturing locations. Vendors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of $5,000,000 per occurrence and demonstrate pricing flexibility through flat price, net price formats (NF30, NF60, NF90), or WAC-minus structures; evaluation is weighted heavily toward price competitiveness at 75 percent, with the remaining 25 percent distributed across administrative compliance, EDI capability, and fixed pricing terms.

The Minnesota-led cooperative purchasing model serving Minnesota and Oregon represents the current visible activity under this code. The MMCAP RFP closed to questions on February 18, 2026, with proposals due March 26, 2026; awarded vendors will be effective July 1, 2026, with a two-year initial contract term and optional extensions at MMCAP's discretion through June 30, 2028 for incumbents. The RFP contains no disclosed budget range or award value projections, and no specific set-aside designations are identified. Performance penalties ranging from $200 to $1,500 per violation apply to late reporting, missed onboarding timelines, and improper class-of-trade denials; all vendors pay a 3 percent administrative fee on contract purchases.
