UNSPSC 51461549: Soy isoflavone gel

Medication that helps against vaginal dryness.

UNSPSC 51461549 Soy isoflavone gel is a Commodity code that encompasses pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products in the soy isoflavone category. Based on recent state and local solicitations, the code covers finished goods distributed through established pharmaceutical supply chains to support healthcare and wellness programs across participating jurisdictions. State and local buyers under this code include multistate cooperative purchasing alliances, state health departments, and subordinate healthcare facilities. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, represents a significant aggregation vehicle for this product class, consolidating demand across multiple state and local members to negotiate volume pricing and establish master agreements with manufacturers and authorized wholesalers.

MMCAP's January 2026 RFP for Generic Multi-Source Pharmaceuticals and OTC Products, with proposals due March 26, 2026, illustrates the scope of procurement under this code. The RFP establishes contracts requiring manufacturers to supply products with specific National Drug Codes, SKUs, UPCs, and packaging configurations through three authorized wholesalers—AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (Cencora), Cardinal Health 110 and 112, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC—with products effective July 1, 2026. Vendors must certify compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), maintain contractual relationships with at least two of the three authorized wholesalers with chargeback systems in place, and carry comprehensive insurance including commercial general liability of $5 million per occurrence. The RFP weights price competitiveness at 75 percent, with fixed pricing, administrative fee compliance, EDI capability, and administrative fee acceptance each at 5–10 percent. Geographic activity includes Minnesota and Oregon as identified participants, with the cooperative purchasing model extending potential reach to additional member states. No set-aside restrictions were identified in available documentation.
