UNSPSC 51204215: Rinderpest and CBPP 'bissec' vaccine

Vaccine against contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) caused one the three great historic cattle plagues of the world along with foot and mouth disease and Rinderpest.

UNSPSC 51204215 Rinderpest and CBPP 'bissec' vaccine is a Commodity code that in practice captures state procurement of specialized vaccines, though the single recent opportunity shows a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The Mississippi State Department of Health posted a sole source notice on July 13, 2026 for Yellow Fever Vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., indicating that state health departments use this code for vaccine procurement when categorical classification aligns with the product being purchased. The scope reflects state-level public health procurement rather than the rinderpest and contagious bovine pleuropneumonia vaccines the code name suggests, signaling either catalog-coding variance in the state procurement system or narrow recent activity under the nominal commodity.

The geographic spread and representative recent activity are limited to Mississippi as of the search window. The Mississippi State Department of Health's sole source procurement (notice 1301-27-R-RFIN-00001, due August 3, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CST) is the only recent state or local opportunity identified under this code. The notice permits written objections to the sole source designation and requires the department to defend exclusivity before the Public Procurement Review Board if substantive competing-source claims are filed; the notice does not disclose quantity, contract term, estimated value, or pricing. This code shows minimal recent state and local activity and appears to see infrequent use for vaccine procurement at the state health-department level.
