The document is a presentation overview for the Minnesota Multistate Contracting Alliance for Pharmacy (MMCAP), a national cooperative group purchasing organization (GPO) that provides healthcare services and products to government facilities across the United States. MMCAP is member-driven, with two representatives from each state serving as liaisons between the organization and its members. The presentation outlines MMCAP's mission, membership profile, benefits, program offerings, including pharmaceuticals, wholesale distribution, vaccines, medical and dental supplies, and laboratory products and services. Additionally, it discusses MMCAP's pricing strategies, including its annual wholesaler shareback credit program, which returns a significant portion of vendor fees to its members.
The related state and local contract opportunity is a Notice of Intent for the state of Massachusetts to join MMCAP. MMCAP membership is free and voluntary, and the organization leverages the combined purchasing power of its members to negotiate competitive pricing on a wide range of healthcare products and services. The presentation highlights significant cost savings realized by various customer classes, including pharmacies, student health departments, corrections facilities, and state hospitals.
