UNSPSC 41102505: Entomological mounting materials

UNSPSC 41102505 Entomological mounting materials, a Commodity code, captures specialized equipment and supplies used in entomological work, including insect traps and related apparatus for capturing, monitoring, and studying insects. The City of Philadelphia's recent solicitation for Reiter Cummings Inspired Gravid Traps—specialized mosquito-collection equipment—exemplifies the practical scope of procurement under this code. State and local governments buy these items primarily for public health and vector-control programs, particularly in disease surveillance and mosquito monitoring operations tied to West Nile Virus, Zika, and dengue prevention efforts. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city health departments and municipal disease-vector programs.

The recent activity on this code is limited. Philadelphia's IFB (B2727498) posted July 8, 2026 with a due date of July 15, 2026, represented a micro purchase under $41,000 for entomological traps. The contract term is 365 days from the effective date. Vendors must carry general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence and workers' compensation at statutory limits, submit electronically through PHLContracts, and comply with Philadelphia's local business entity certification and nondiscrimination requirements. The City reserves the right to reject quotes or substitute products if performance obligations are not met. Geographic activity under this code appears concentrated in jurisdictions with active vector-control and public-health surveillance programs, though the source provides limited evidence of broad regional activity beyond this single Philadelphia opportunity.
