UNSPSC 51461523 Ginkgo biloba is a Commodity code that encompasses herbal and botanical supplement products, though state and local governments procurement under this specific code appears minimal. The recent documented opportunity under this code is a Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products that includes botanical and supplement offerings within a broader pharmaceutical portfolio rather than ginkgo biloba specifically. State and local buyers using this code typically include cooperative purchasing alliances that aggregate demand across multiple state and local government facilities, hospitals, clinics, and distribution networks that source herbal supplements and botanical products as part of institutional healthcare inventories.

The MMCAP RFP, posted January 20, 2026 with a response deadline of March 26, 2026, is administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement on behalf of participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon. Vendors responding to the procurement must supply products through three authorized wholesalers—AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (Cencora), Cardinal Health 110 and 112, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC—and meet stringent compliance requirements including cGMP certification, Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance, $5 million commercial general liability insurance per occurrence, and contractual relationships with at least two of the three authorized wholesalers. The evaluation places 75 percent weight on price competitiveness, with the remainder distributed across fixed pricing, administrative fee format compliance, EDI capability, and willingness to accept a 3 percent administrative fee on all purchases. Products must be available in the marketplace by May 15, 2026, with contract terms of two years for new responders and extensions through June 30, 2028 for incumbents.
