UNSPSC 51201650: Zoster vaccine

A live attenuated virus vaccine indicated for prevention of herpes zoster (shingles) in individuals 50 years of age and older

UNSPSC 51201650 Zoster vaccine is a Commodity code that covers immunization products procured by state health departments and related public health bodies. State and local public health agencies use this code to classify purchases of shingles vaccine and related vaccine formulations for disease prevention and immunization programs. The soliciting body for the recent activity is a state department of health rather than a county, municipality, school district, or transit authority; state health departments appear to be the primary user of this code.

The most recent opportunity supporting this code is a sole source procurement notice from the Mississippi State Department of Health, posted July 13, 2026, with an objection deadline of August 3, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CST. That notice, however, names Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur as the commodity, not zoster vaccine — a significant mismatch between the UNSPSC code designation and the actual vaccine being procured. The notice does not specify quantity, contract term, estimated value, or pricing. No other recent state or local opportunities supporting this code appear in the source. Given the single available record and its apparent misalignment with the code's nominal scope, this code shows minimal recent relevant activity and warrants confirmation through direct procurement-office inquiry before investing pursuit effort.
