UNSPSC 41102502: Rearing facilities for entomology

UNSPSC 41102502 Rearing facilities for entomology, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of specialized equipment and supplies for mosquito and insect colony management, based on recent state and local solicitations. State and local governments use this code to acquire entomological equipment such as gravid traps—specialized containers designed to capture egg-laying mosquitoes for surveillance and control programs—as well as the physical facilities, rearing containers, and associated apparatus needed to maintain laboratory or field colonies of disease vectors and agricultural pests. The issuing bodies span cities, school districts, and specialized public health agencies. The City of Philadelphia recently solicited Reiter Cummings Inspired Gravid Traps under this code through a micro-purchase IFB, signaling active use of the code for mosquito surveillance equipment procurement at the municipal level.

Activity under the code appears limited and geographically scattered. The most recent solicitation supporting the code—the City of Philadelphia's July 2026 bid for gravid traps (Solicitation B2727498, due July 15, 2026)—represents a micro-purchase under $41,000 as a single-line-item acquisition for a specific, named product. A concurrent school-district RFP posted by Klein Independent School District in Texas (RFP #26-101, due June 5, 2026) nominally tagged to the code describes career and technical education resources broadly and does not reference entomological equipment or facilities, suggesting a coding mismatch rather than true category activity. The code shows little recent relevant activity and appears to serve narrow, episodic municipal and public health demand rather than a sustained procurement stream.
