UNSPSC 51351905 Mestranol is a Commodity code representing pharmaceutical products supplied through state and local cooperative purchasing agreements, specifically generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products distributed to government facilities. State and local governments procure under this code through established cooperative purchasing vehicles that consolidate demand across multiple jurisdictions to achieve volume pricing and standardized supply chain management. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, exemplifies this model, requiring vendors to maintain cGMP certification and Drug Supply Chain Security Act compliance, submit detailed product information including National Drug Codes and packaging specifications, and work through authorized wholesalers with chargeback capabilities. Issuing bodies under this code include state health and human services departments, state procurement offices managing cooperative agreements, and participating local government facilities across multiple states.

MMCAP's January 2026 RFP for Generic Multi Source Pharmaceuticals and OTC Products, due March 26, 2026, represents current activity under the code and covers participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon through a cooperative purchasing structure. The procurement emphasizes price competitiveness (75 percent of evaluation weight), compliance with data formatting and EDI capability requirements (5 percent each), and fixed pricing submission (10 percent), with awarded vendors obligated to pay a 3 percent administrative fee on all contract purchases. Vendors must maintain $5 million commercial general liability insurance, $2 million network security and privacy liability coverage, and $2 million professional liability coverage. The contract term extends two years for new responders with optional extensions through June 30, 2028 for incumbent responders, with performance penalties ranging from $200 to $1,500 per violation for reporting delays or supply failures.
