UNSPSC 51271628 Lidocaine benzyl benzoate, a Commodity code, encompasses pharmaceutical preparations sold under cooperative purchasing vehicles to state and local government health systems, hospitals, and related facilities. The recent activity under this code reflects a broad multi-source generic and OTC pharmaceutical procurement model rather than lidocaine benzyl benzoate in isolation; state and local buyers solicit manufacturers' comprehensive pricing and product availability across NDC-coded therapeutic and OTC categories, requiring compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices, Drug Supply Chain Security Act certification, established relationships with authorized drug wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, Morris & Dickson), and flexible pricing structures including flat-price, net-price, and WAC-minus formats. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices administering multistate cooperative purchasing alliances; the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, on behalf of the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), is a documented repeat buyer under this code and similar pharmaceutical procurement families.

The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance RFP issued January 20, 2026, with a response due date of March 26, 2026, represents the primary recent activity. The solicitation establishes contracts effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028, with a two-year initial term for new vendors and optional extensions; participating states include Minnesota and Oregon. Evaluation emphasizes price competitiveness (75 percent weight), with secondary scoring on administrative fee compliance, EDI capability, pricing format, and fixed pricing. Vendors must carry commercial general liability insurance of $5,000,000 per occurrence, network security and privacy liability of $2,000,000, and professional liability of $2,000,000, and submit proposals through the ePro procurement system with product and pricing data in Excel-to-CSV format. Specific contract dollar values are not disclosed; performance penalties for compliance violations range from $200 to $1,500 per incident, and all awarded vendors pay a 3 percent administrative fee on contract purchases.
