UNSPSC 51201656: COVID19 - AstraZeneca

The Oxford, AstraZeneca vaccine is a vaccine that aims to protect against COVID-19.

UNSPSC 51201656 COVID19 - AstraZeneca is a Commodity code that indexes vaccine procurement by state and local health agencies. The recent activity under this code diverges sharply from the nominal AstraZeneca COVID-19 framing: the Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source notice on July 13, 2026 for Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., reflecting the reality that state health departments use this code to classify diverse vaccine acquisitions beyond the original COVID-19 product line. State and local health departments drive activity under this code, with the Mississippi State Department of Health appearing as an issuing body. The work involves securing vaccine supplies through either sole source or competitive procurement pathways, depending on vendor availability and public objection.

The most recent opportunity is the Mississippi State Department of Health's sole source notice for Yellow Fever Vaccine (Solicitation 3150006922, due August 3, 2026). Objections to the sole source designation must be submitted to Cynthia Brasher at Cynthia.brasher@msdh.ms.gov by 10:00 a.m. CST on the due date; if substantiated objections are received demonstrating alternative vendors can supply the vaccine, the department will withdraw the sole source notice and conduct a competitive bid process. The source provides no information on geographic concentration, estimated contract value, quantity, or contract term. This code shows limited recent activity in the provided data set.
