UNSPSC 51201613: Parotitis vaccine

This classification denotes a vaccine to treat inflammation of the parotid gland due to Staphylococcus aureus infection.

UNSPSC 51201613 Parotitis vaccine is a Commodity code that captures immunization products state and local health agencies procure for public health programs. The nominal code scope covers parotitis (mumps) vaccines; however, recent state and local activity shows health departments soliciting vaccines across the broader immunization portfolio, including yellow fever vaccines and related biologics. State health departments are the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring vaccines as part of routine public health operations and disease prevention initiatives.

The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source procurement notice (Solicitation 3150006922, due August 3, 2026) for yellow fever vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., with an objection period allowing competing vendors to demonstrate alternative supply availability. The notice indicates limited recent activity under the code; the source documents a single posted opportunity without geographic spread across multiple states or a pattern of competitive bidding. State health procurement officers should monitor whether Mississippi's objection period yields competitive challenges or alternative suppliers, as sole source designations for vaccines can shift to advertised competitive processes if substantiated competing claims emerge.
