JPMC MMCAP Pharmaceuticals and Over the Counter Products

The state and local contract opportunity is for the procurement of Pharmaceuticals and Over the Counter Products by the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing program, which is operated by the State of Minnesota on behalf of participating state and local government entities. The RFP, with reference number 32415, is open to any non-incumbent generic, OTC, or brand manufacturers who meet the requirements, as well as incumbent generic vendors. Key requirements include compliance with cGMP and DSCSA standards, availability of products from at least two of MMCAP Infuse's authorized wholesalers, and a chargeback system in place. Vendors must offer fixed pricing through June 30, 2024, provide administrative fee data, and agree to a 3% administrative fee. The RFP is scheduled to close on March 15, 2023 at 2:00 PM Central Time, and the resulting Master Agreements will have an initial one-year term with the option for annual certification of vendor compliance.

The RFP is open to all interested vendors, and the State of Illinois has authorized its governmental units to participate on a non-mandatory basis. Incumbent responders have a streamlined submission process, while new responders must also submit additional forms related to lobbying, workforce, and veteran-owned preferences. The procurement documents do not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor do they list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The award value or budget range for the resulting Master Agreements is also not provided.
