NIGP 26980: Serums, Toxoids, and Vaccines

NIGP 26980 Serums, Toxoids, and Vaccines is an Item code under which state and local health departments procure immunization products and related educational services. Recent opportunities show two distinct work streams: direct procurement of vaccine supplies (Yellow Fever Vaccine from the Mississippi State Department of Health) and professional services to increase vaccination rates through provider education and training (HPV immunization education services from the State of Delaware). The code captures both the tangible medical products themselves and the capacity-building and outreach initiatives state health agencies use to improve vaccination coverage and compliance with Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommendations.

State health departments dominate the issuing-body mix under this code. Recent activity clusters in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions, with the Mississippi State Department of Health announcing a sole source procurement for Yellow Fever Vaccine (objection deadline August 3, 2026) and the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Public Health issuing RFP HSS-27-001 for medical provider education on HPV immunization (proposal deadline May 20, 2026, with a one-year contract term and seven optional one-year extensions). The Delaware RFP requires $1,000,000 per occurrence in Commercial General Liability insurance and mandates monthly usage reports and quarterly subcontracting diversity reports; vendors must perform all work within the United States and submit detailed cost proposals with personnel, travel, supply, and program costs itemized for the initial one-year period.
