UNSPSC 51201608: Influenza virus vaccine

This classification denotes a vaccine for an acute viral infection in humans involving the respiratory tract. It is marked by inflammation of the nasal mucosa; the pharynx; and conjunctiva, and by headache and severe, often generalized, myalgia.

UNSPSC 51201608 Influenza virus vaccine is a Commodity code applied to state and local procurement of viral vaccines, though the recent opportunity record shows a sole source notice for Yellow Fever Vaccine rather than influenza product. State and local health departments—primary among them state departments of health—use this code to acquire vaccines for public health programs, immunization clinics, and disease-prevention initiatives. The scope covers finished vaccine products ready for clinical administration, typically through competitive or negotiated procurement when multiple sources are available.

The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source procurement notice (3150006922, objection deadline August 3, 2026) for Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., signaling that state health agencies may pursue single-source pathways when they determine vaccine supply is available from only one qualified vendor. The notice does not disclose quantity, contract term, or estimated value. Recent activity under this code is sparse; the single sourced opportunity reflects narrow, mission-critical demand rather than broad market activity. Geographic spread and issuing-body patterns cannot be reliably characterized from one post.
