UNSPSC 51201703: Gumboro vaccines

This clasification denotes vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent or treat infection a species of avibirnavirus causing severe inflammation of the bursa of Fabricius in chickens and other fowl, sometimes called infectious bursal disease virus. Transmission is thought to be through contaminated feed or water.

UNSPSC 51201703 Gumboro vaccines is a Commodity code that encompasses immunological products state and local health departments procure for disease prevention and control programs. The recent activity under this code shows state health agencies acquiring specialized vaccines through sole-source and competitive procurement channels. The Mississippi State Department of Health's July 2026 notice for Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., demonstrates that health departments use this code for critical vaccine procurement when standard competitive bidding either does not apply or when a single vendor meets clinical or regulatory requirements. State health departments dominate the issuing-body mix for this code, with purchases typically driven by epidemiological need, regulatory compliance, and vaccine availability rather than routine commodity competitive dynamics.

The geographic spread is concentrated in states with active public health immunization programs and disease surveillance requirements. The single recent opportunity on record—Mississippi State Department of Health's sole-source notice for Yellow Fever Vaccine (RFP 1301-27-R-RFIN-00001, objections due August 3, 2026)—reflects procurement tied to specific disease-control mandates and specialized vaccine supply chains. The notice explicitly invites objections to the sole-source classification and requires objectors to demonstrate alternative vendor availability with supporting documentation; if substantiated objections are received, the health department must either conduct a competitive bid or escalate the matter to the Public Procurement Review Board. The notice does not disclose quantity, contract term, or estimated value. Activity under this code appears limited in recent postings, suggesting either concentrated purchasing windows aligned with annual immunization budgets or specialized demand that does not generate frequent open competition.
