NIGP 49325: Entomological Equipment and Accessories (Insect Science)

NIGP 49325 Entomological Equipment and Accessories (Insect Science), an Item code, encompasses specialized instruments and supplies for insect collection, identification, rearing, and laboratory analysis that state and local governments procure for educational, regulatory, and pest-management programs. The scope includes insect nets, collection containers, microscopy equipment, rearing chambers, mounting supplies, specimen preservation materials, and associated field and laboratory apparatus used by entomologists, educators, and public-health personnel. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments of agriculture, education, and environmental management; county extension services and agricultural agencies; municipal parks and public-health departments; and school districts with science curricula or integrated pest management operations. Work is typically driven by regulatory compliance (invasive species monitoring, disease vector surveillance), educational mission (K–12 and university science programs), and operational need (grounds maintenance, food-safety inspection).

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. Without posted solicitation records, issuing-body concentration, geographic distribution, and current market activity cannot be characterized from recent procurement activity.
