UNSPSC 51201625: Yellow fever vaccine

This classification denotes a vaccine that addresses an acute infectious disease primarily of the tropics, caused by a virus and transmitted to man by mosquitoes of the genera Aedes and Haemagogus. Yellow fever vaccine bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0301508 and NCI Concept Code C96396.

UNSPSC 51201625 Yellow fever vaccine is a Commodity code covering immunological products that state and local health departments procure to support vaccination programs and disease prevention. The Mississippi State Department of Health solicited this vaccine in a sole source procurement notice posted July 13, 2026, with an objection deadline of August 3, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CST. Sole source notices invite challenges from vendors who can demonstrate alternative supply sources; if objections are substantiated, the issuing body must either conduct a competitive solicitation or appeal to the state procurement review board to justify exclusivity. Health departments at the state and local level are the primary buyers under this code, purchasing vaccines as part of routine immunization programs and public health preparedness.

The recent activity supporting this code is limited to a single solicitation from Mississippi. The notice does not disclose quantity, contract term, estimated value, or final pricing, constraining visibility into procurement scale. The format — a sole source notice rather than a competitive RFP or IFB — reflects the specialized and often restricted supply of vaccines from federally licensed manufacturers. Vendors seeking to challenge the sole source designation or to position alternative supply must submit detailed written objections demonstrating product availability and capability to Cynthia Brasher at the Mississippi State Department of Health Purchasing Department before the August 3 deadline.
