UNSPSC 41102506: Entomological trays

UNSPSC 41102506 Entomological trays (Commodity) covers mosquito traps and related entomological collection equipment that state and local governments procure for vector control and public health programs. The City of Philadelphia's July 2026 micro-purchase for Reiter Cummings Inspired Gravid Traps—specialized mosquito traps used in surveillance and control operations—exemplifies the concrete work being solicited under this code. Issuing bodies include municipal health and vector control departments; the small dollar volume of recent activity ($41,000 for Philadelphia's purchase) suggests procurement is driven by operational need rather than large-scale equipment programs.

The code shows limited recent state and local activity. Beyond Philadelphia's mosquito trap procurement in July 2026, no other recent opportunities appear in the available records. This suggests entomological equipment represents a niche procurement category, concentrated among municipalities with active vector control or public health surveillance programs rather than a broad cross-section of state and local buyers. Geographic spread cannot be characterized from a single recent opportunity; Philadelphia's purchase (due July 15, 2026) remains the only documented recent solicitation under this code. Prospecting firms should monitor municipal health department and vector control agency RFQ cycles in the summer months when mosquito season drives procurement, and track pandemic-related disease surveillance initiatives that may increase demand for standardized entomological monitoring equipment.
