Technical Requirements for Pharmaceutical & Nutrition Products

UNICEF’s 7th edition technical requirements document sets the specifications suppliers must meet to bid for the supply of pharmaceutical and nutrition products under UNICEF tenders. It applies globally to manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and marketing license holders who can submit finished pharmaceutical products (FPPs) or nutrition products (parenteral nutrition products designed to prevent or treat nutrient deficiencies) that are registered and marketed in the country of origin. Products must comply with WHO normative standards, pharmacopoeial standards and good manufacturing practices (GMP), and must be WHO prequalified or registered by a Stringent Regulatory Authority (SRA) or WHO Listed Authority (WLA) for large biologicals. Suppliers must complete the Interagency Finished Pharmaceutical Product Questionnaire (IAFPPQ) and, where applicable, UNICEF technical questionnaires for manufacturers or wholesalers, and submit full documentation via UNICEF’s online repository. The document does not set a submission deadline; deadlines are specified in individual solicitations, LTAs or POs. For applicants, this document is a gatekeeper: only products and suppliers that meet these technical and regulatory requirements can be considered for UNICEF procurement, making compliance a prerequisite to participate in any UNICEF tender for medicines or nutrition products.
