UNSPSC 51201700: Poultry vaccines

This classification denotes preparations of pathogenic organisms or their derivatives made nontoxic and intended for active immunologic prophylaxis in domesticated birds raised for food, such as chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys.

UNSPSC 51201700 Poultry vaccines, a Class code, in recent state and local procurement activity actually covers human vaccines, not poultry products—a mismatch that reflects either miscoding by the issuing body or a taxonomy alignment issue. The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source notice on July 13, 2026, proposing to procure Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., with an objection deadline of August 3, 2026. The notice does not specify quantity, contract term, or estimated value. Any person or entity may challenge the sole source designation by submitting written objection with detailed explanation and supporting documentation demonstrating that another vendor can supply the vaccine; if substantiated objections are received, the department will withdraw the sole source notice and conduct an advertised competitive bid or selection process. If the department determines only one source exists, it will appeal to the Public Procurement Review Board, which requires the department to prove that the vaccine is available exclusively from Sanofi Pasteur.

The recent activity shows only a single state-level opportunity under this code, originating in Mississippi. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (poultry vaccines) and the actual solicitation (human yellow fever vaccine) suggests the code may carry limited relevance for poultry-vaccine vendors or that state and local procurement systems are applying the code inconsistently. Without additional recent opportunities, the geographic spread and issuing-body characterization cannot be determined from the source material provided.
