UNSPSC 51201638: Plague vaccine

This classification denotes vaccines for an acute infectious disease caused by yersinia pestis that affects humans, wild rodents, and their ectoparasites. This condition persists due to its firm entrenchment in sylvatic rodent-flea ecosystems throughout the world. Bubonic plague is the most common form.

UNSPSC 51201638 Plague vaccine is a Commodity code under which state and local health departments procure immunizations for disease prevention and control. The recent activity sourced here shows minimal direct relevance to the code's nominal scope — the single posted opportunity concerns Yellow Fever vaccine procurement by the Mississippi State Department of Health, not plague vaccine. State and local health agencies use this code family to acquire vaccines and related biological products for public health programs, though the concrete demand visible in current solicitations diverges from the plague vaccine designation.

The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source procurement notice (3150006922, due August 3, 2026) for Yellow Fever vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., with an objection period for interested parties to challenge the sole source classification and demonstrate alternative vendor availability. The notice does not specify quantity, contract term, estimated value, or pricing. The limited recent activity under this Commodity code and the mismatch between the code name (plague vaccine) and the actual opportunity being solicited (yellow fever vaccine) suggest this code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement demand for the product nominally described.
