UNSPSC 51201704: Avian infectious bronchitis vaccines

This clasification denotes vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent or treat infection with a species of coronavirus causing infections in chickens and possibly pheasants.

UNSPSC 51201704 Avian infectious bronchitis vaccines is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses disease-specific vaccine procurement by health departments. The recent activity under this code shows that state health agencies are sourcing vaccines for disease prevention and control, though the single posted opportunity involves yellow fever vaccine rather than avian bronchitis, indicating either code-tagging inconsistency or a broader interpretation of vaccine procurement under this classification. State and local health departments—particularly state departments of health—are the primary buyers under this code, typically managing vaccine procurement for public health programs and disease surveillance initiatives.

The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source notice (Solicitation 1301-27-R-RFIN-00001, objection deadline August 3, 2026) seeking Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc. The notice invites objections to sole source status; if substantiated alternative sources are identified, the department will conduct a competitive procurement or escalate to the Public Procurement Review Board. No quantity, contract term, or estimated value was disclosed. Geographic concentration in recent postings is limited to Mississippi; no broader activity across other states or jurisdictions appears in the available opportunities block. The sole source pathway and the absence of pricing detail suggest that vaccine procurement under this code may proceed through limited or negotiated channels rather than open competition, though the Mississippi notice explicitly preserves the option to move to competitive bidding if challenge conditions are met.
