UNSPSC 51201646: Measles 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.

The second disease this compound vaccine prevents is an acute infectious disease caused by the rubella virus, commonly called rubella, and which enters the respiratory tract via airborne droplet and spreads to the lymphatic system.

UNSPSC 51201646 Measles and rubella virus vaccine is a Commodity code that state and local health departments procure for immunization programs. State and local governments buy vaccines under this code to meet population health requirements, including routine childhood immunizations and disease-prevention initiatives. The issuing bodies are primarily state health departments and, where applicable, county and municipal public health authorities responsible for vaccine procurement and distribution.

The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source procurement notice on July 13, 2026, with an objection deadline of August 3, 2026, though the notice itself concerns Yellow Fever Vaccine rather than measles and rubella vaccine—indicating a potential code mismatch in the solicitation data. The notice allows objectors to challenge the sole source designation if they can demonstrate alternative vendor availability. Beyond this single notice, the source provides no other recent state or local contract opportunities under this code, no geographic spread across multiple jurisdictions, and no information on quantity, contract value, or term.
