UNSPSC 51201647: Bacillus calmette–guerin or BCG vaccine

This clasification denotes vaccines to treat the bovine variety of the tubercle bacillus, also called Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. bovis or more generally, Calmette-Guerin Bacillus.

UNSPSC 51201647 Bacillus calmette–guerin or BCG vaccine, a Commodity code, nominally covers immunizations in the bacillus Calmette–Guérin family, but recent state and local solicitations show limited activity directly aligned with the code's name. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is a sole source procurement notice, not a standard vaccine purchase solicitation. State and local governments use this code to procure vaccines and related immunological products through health departments and public health agencies, though the recent record reflects sparse competitive activity.

The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source procurement notice (Solicitation 3150006922, due August 3, 2026) that was tagged under this code but sought Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc.—a product outside the BCG vaccine scope. The notice invited objections to sole source designation rather than soliciting competitive bids. With only this single recent opportunity in the record and a clear mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being sought, the code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for BCG vaccines or closely related products at the state and local level.
