NIGP 26980: Serums, Toxoids, and Vaccines

NIGP 26980 Serums, Toxoids, and Vaccines is an Item code covering immunological products that state and local health departments procure to support public health programs and disease prevention initiatives. The code encompasses finished vaccines and related biologics used in routine immunization campaigns, outbreak response, and special-population protection efforts. State health departments serve as the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring vaccines through both competitive and sole-source pathways depending on product availability and public health urgency.

The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole-source procurement notice on July 13, 2026, for Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., with an objection deadline of August 3, 2026. The notice invited any vendor believing it could supply the vaccine to submit written objection with supporting evidence; if substantiated objections were received, the department would conduct a competitive bid process or forward the matter to the Public Procurement Review Board. The solicitation did not disclose quantity, contract term, or estimated value. Beyond this single posted opportunity, recent state and local procurement activity under the code is not visible in the available source material.
