UNSPSC 10101908 Live southern black widow is a Commodity code with no recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code nominally covers live specimens of the southern black widow spider (Latrodectus mactans), but state and local procurement records do not show active solicitation for this product under the code at this time. Without supporting opportunity data, no characterization of issuing-body mix, geographic spread, or representative recent work is possible.

The absence of recent activity under this code suggests either minimal or no current demand from state and local agencies, or a mismatch between the code assignment and actual procurement practice. Business development professionals should verify whether any genuine procurement need exists before allocating resources to this code.
