UNSPSC 21102405: Insect catcher net

Long-handled net designed to catch flying insects

UNSPSC 21102405 Insect catcher net (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope nominally addresses hand-held insect collection equipment, but recent opportunities tagged to it involve pest control services, veterinary pharmaceuticals, and mosquito abatement — work unrelated to the commodity's name. State and local governments appear to be using this code as a catch-all or misfiled category for pest management and animal healthcare contracts rather than for insect catcher nets themselves. Issuing bodies include county animal shelters, regional transit and educational authorities, county public health departments, and statewide fire agencies across Texas and Florida. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being purchased suggests this Commodity code sees limited relevant recent activity for businesses offering insect collection equipment.

Recent opportunities posted under this code include Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter's Invitation for Bid 26IFB24 (due April 23, 2026) for veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies; Valencia College's Invitation to Bid 2026-04 (due September 3, 2025) for college-wide pest control services across eleven locations totaling 2.6 million square feet; and Harris County's Invitation to Bid for aerial spraying mosquito control services (due March 9, 2026) covering up to 1 million acres with licensed operators and aircraft. A Texas Fire Department ITB 24-17940-YB also appeared tagged to this code. None of these solicitations reference insect catcher nets. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas (Williamson County, Harris County, statewide fire department) and Florida (Valencia College, Orange County area). Business development professionals pursuing contracts under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before bid preparation, as the recent opportunities show consistent miscoding rather than genuine market demand for hand-held entomological collection equipment.
