UNSPSC 51201618: Rota virus vaccine

This classification denotes a vaccine for a genus of reoviridae, causing acute gastroenteritis in birds and mammals, including humans.

UNSPSC 51201618 Rota virus vaccine is a Commodity code under which state and local health departments procure immunization products for disease prevention programs. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows a mismatch between the nominal category name and actual procurement practice: the single recent opportunity posted involves a sole source notice for Yellow Fever Vaccine rather than rotavirus vaccine. State and local health departments issuing under this code range from state-level public health agencies to county and municipal health divisions, typically as part of routine vaccination program procurement and emergency disease-response initiatives. The scope of work encompasses vaccine acquisition, storage, and distribution infrastructure support, though the specific products and quantities vary by issuing jurisdiction and public health priority.

The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source procurement notice (Solicitation Number 3150006922, due August 3, 2026) for Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., permitting objections to the sole source designation through that deadline. The notice does not specify quantity, contract term, estimated value, or pricing. Geographic activity under the code appears limited to recent posting; the source provides insufficient evidence of sustained activity across multiple states or jurisdictions to characterize regional concentration. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (rotavirus vaccine) and the Yellow Fever Vaccine solicitation suggests either tagging inconsistency in the underlying database or a broader vaccine-procurement classification that state and local procurement offices apply across multiple immunization product lines.
