UNSPSC 51201609: Measles virus vaccine

This classification denotes a vaccine for a highly contagious infectious disease caused by morbillivirus, common among children but also seen in the nonimmune of any age, in which the virus enters the respiratory tract via droplet nuclei and multiplies in the epithelial cells, spreading throughout the mononuclear phagocyte system.

UNSPSC 51201609 Measles virus vaccine is a Commodity code covering immunization products procured by state health departments and related public health agencies. State and local governments buy vaccines under this code to support routine immunization programs, disease prevention initiatives, and public health preparedness. The Mississippi State Department of Health is the primary issuing body visible in recent activity under this code.

The geographic spread of recent activity is limited; the most recent opportunity originates in Mississippi. On July 13, 2026, the Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source procurement notice (3150006922, 1301-27-R-RFIN-00001) with an objection deadline of August 3, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CST. The notice proposed Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc. as a sole source acquisition, inviting written objections with supporting documentation demonstrating alternative sources; any substantiated objections would trigger a competitive bid process, while unsupported sole source claims would be appealed to the Public Procurement Review Board. The notice did not specify quantity, contract term, estimated value, or pricing.
