NOTICE ONLY - MMCAP Infuser RFP Wholesalers/Distributors of Medical Supplies

MMCAP Infuse, operated by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, is seeking proposals from wholesalers and distributors of medical supplies through a Request for Proposals (RFP) targeting governmental cooperative members nationwide. The procurement seeks comprehensive medical supply vendors capable of providing extensive product catalogs across multiple categories including pharmaceuticals, vaccines, diabetic products, drug testing, condoms, dental supplies, incontinence products, nutritionals, and waste disposal products. Proposals must be received by July 11, 2022, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with potential contract terms lasting up to five years. Responders will be evaluated based on technical capabilities, pricing competitiveness, and ability to serve the entire MMCAP Infuse Membership, which includes diverse governmental entities like Marion County and the City of Salem in Oregon. The RFP requires vendors to demonstrate geographic coverage, capacity to facilitate manufacturer chargebacks, and flexibility in pricing structures across three categories: Core (fixed annual pricing), Non-Core (product category discounts), and MMCAP Infuse Products (direct manufacturer contracts).

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. MMCAP Infuse reserves the right to award the contract to a single or multiple responders, with an expected administrative fee of approximately 3% on gross sales value. While no incumbent vendors are specifically identified, the procurement allows for partial opportunities and encourages competitive pricing proposals. The RFP suggests vendors must meet minimum qualifications related to organizational size and operational capabilities. Though precise contract values are not specified, the broad membership base of MMCAP Infuse—which serves thousands of state and local government facilities across the United States—indicates significant potential revenue opportunities for awarded vendors. Responders will need to demonstrate comprehensive product offerings, competitive pricing strategies, and robust distribution capabilities to be considered for contract award.
