UNSPSC 51351500: Estrogen, progestin, or internal contraceptive pregnanes

Estrogens, progestins, or internal contraceptives made from saturated derivatives of the steroid pregnane.

UNSPSC 51351500 Estrogen, progestin, or internal contraceptive pregnanes is a Class code encompassing hormonal contraceptive pharmaceuticals and related products procured by state and local health agencies, Medicaid programs, and public health systems. Recent activity under this code shows state and local governments purchasing generic and branded contraceptive formulations—including oral contraceptives, progestin-only pills, intrauterine devices, and related contraceptive medications—through cooperative purchasing agreements and direct pharmaceutical procurement solicitations. The issuing bodies are primarily state health departments, state Medicaid agencies, and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and public facilities. Vendors must hold current FDA approval, comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), maintain relationships with authorized pharmaceutical wholesalers, and carry professional liability insurance covering network security, privacy, and product liability.

The Minnesota 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 (S1070000015802) to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, with participating states including Oregon and other MMCAP members. The RFP closed to questions on February 18, 2026, with proposals due March 26, 2026; awarded vendors will supply products through three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen/Cencora, Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson) effective July 1, 2026. The evaluation weighted price competitiveness at 75 percent, with smaller components for fixed pricing, EDI capability, administrative fee compliance, and format requirements. Vendors must agree to a 3 percent administrative fee on all purchases, maintain chargeback systems with at least two wholesalers, and accept performance penalties ranging from $200 to $1,500 per violation for reporting or onboarding delays. The contract term is two years for new responders with optional extensions, while incumbent vendors' amendments extend through June 30, 2028.
