UNSPSC 41102503: Fabric or netting for entomology

UNSPSC 41102503 Fabric or netting for entomology is a Commodity code covering specialized netting and fabric materials used for insect collection, monitoring, and research by state and local public health, environmental, and educational agencies. State and local governments purchase these items primarily for mosquito surveillance and control programs, vector-borne disease monitoring, and entomology education in school districts. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city health departments, school districts, and regional educational institutions; the City of Philadelphia and Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas represent the recent issuing-body mix.

Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase IFB (Solicitation B2727498) on July 8, 2026, due July 15, 2026, for Reiter Cummings Inspired Gravid Traps under $41,000 as a lowest-responsible-bidder award, either whole or by line item, with a 365-day contract term and FOB Destination delivery. Klein ISD posted an RFP (26-101) on April 17, 2026, due June 5, 2026, seeking Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources across 17 CTE program areas including agricultural science; while the RFP's scope is broad and nominally focused on instructional supplies and materials, the posted solicitation does not clearly connect entomology netting to Klein ISD's stated procurement categories, suggesting a potential coding mismatch or that entomology fabric is incidental to a larger educational materials contract. Recent activity is sparse and geographically concentrated in Texas and Pennsylvania; no statewide or multi-jurisdiction procurement patterns are evident.
