UNSPSC 41102507: Entomological catching equipment

UNSPSC 41102507 Entomological catching equipment, a Commodity code, covers mosquito traps and related insect-catching apparatus that state and local public health and vector-control departments procure for disease surveillance and population monitoring. The recent solicitations show limited but concrete activity: the City of Philadelphia sought Reiter Cummings Inspired Gravid Traps—standard oviposition traps used in Culex mosquito surveillance—under a micro purchase IFB with a response date of July 15, 2026. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal health departments and public agencies responsible for vector control and disease prevention. The scope is narrow and specialized: procurement centers on specific trap models and replacement parts rather than broad equipment families.

Philadelphia represents the primary recent geographic concentration for this code; no other state or local opportunities appear in the current record. The Klein ISD posting tagged to this code reflects a sourcing mismatch—the school district's Career Technical Education RFP due June 5, 2026 covers instructional materials and STEM equipment across 17 CTE program areas and advanced academics, with no entomological catching equipment in scope. Activity under UNSPSC 41102507 remains sparse and episodic. Vendors with inventory in standard gravid trap models and the ability to meet FOB destination delivery terms and municipal insurance requirements (including $500,000 general liability minimum) should monitor municipal health procurement channels in high-activity regions, particularly where vector-borne disease surveillance is a budget priority.
