UNSPSC 51201632 Diphtheria and tetanus and wholecell pertussis vaccine is a Commodity code that covers immunization products state and local health departments procure for public health programs. The code's nominal scope covers combination vaccines; however, recent solicitation activity under this code shows state health departments also use it to flag vaccine procurement more broadly, including sole source notices for non-combination vaccines such as Yellow Fever.

The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source procurement notice on July 13, 2026, for Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., with an objection deadline of August 3, 2026. The notice invites any vendor or entity to challenge the sole source classification by demonstrating alternative supply sources; if substantiated objections are received, the department will conduct a competitive bid or selection process, and if no alternatives exist, the matter proceeds to the Public Procurement Review Board. The notice does not disclose quantity, contract term, estimated value, or pricing. State health departments are the primary issuing bodies under this code. Recent activity is limited; the source identifies only one opportunity in the posted-opportunity record.
