UNSPSC 51201628: Measles and mumps and rubella virus vaccine

This clasification denotes a compound vaccine. The first disease that this compound vaccine prevents is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by morbillivirus, called measles, 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 51201628 Measles and mumps and rubella virus vaccine is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under it does not align with its nominal scope. The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source notice on July 13, 2026, for Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., with an objection deadline of August 3, 2026—a vaccine outside the measles, mumps, and rubella family. The notice itself is procedural rather than a traditional solicitation: it announces intent to procure from a single vendor and invites written objections demonstrating alternative sources exist. If substantiated objections are received, the state department will withdraw the sole source designation and conduct a competitive bid or selection process; if it determines exclusivity, it will appeal to Mississippi's Public Procurement Review Board. The notice does not disclose quantity, contract term, estimated value, or unit pricing.

The code shows minimal recent activity and a mismatch between its taxonomy definition and the work actually being bought. No other state or local opportunities appear in the available records under this UNSPSC number. State health departments are the primary issuing bodies for vaccine procurement, and sole source notices—particularly those subject to formal objection and review procedures—signal either established vendor relationships or restricted sources due to supply constraints or regulatory approval. Firms pursuing vaccine work should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for their product portfolios and monitor Mississippi State Department of Health procurement channels directly, as the current tagging may reflect administrative classification rather than accurate commodity coding.
