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 population health protection. Recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows limited volume and narrow scope — the recent opportunities block contains a single notice, a sole-source procurement for Yellow Fever Vaccine by the Mississippi State Department of Health, posted July 13, 2026 with objections due August 3, 2026. State health departments are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code. The vaccine procurement is directed to Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., though the notice allows objections and alternative-source challenges before final award.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Deep South, with recent notice activity visible in Mississippi. The sole-source notice for Yellow Fever Vaccine from the Mississippi State Department of Health represents the only recent opportunity documented in the opportunities block; the notice does not specify contract quantity, term, estimated value, or pricing, limiting visibility into deal size and renewal cadence. No standard competitive RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices appear in recent state and local activity under this code — state health departments appear to manage vaccine procurement through sole-source requests or cooperative purchasing agreements rather than open competitive solicitation.
