UNSPSC 41102508: Entomological aspirators

UNSPSC 41102508 Entomological aspirators, a Commodity code, covers specialized equipment used in vector and pest surveillance and control programs, with recent state and local activity focused on mosquito monitoring and trapping devices. The City of Philadelphia recently solicited Reiter Cummings Inspired Gravid Traps—specialized mosquito-capture equipment used in disease vector monitoring—as a micro purchase, signaling that public health and vector-control agencies are the primary buyers under this code. Issuing bodies appear to include city and county public health departments engaged in mosquito and insect surveillance, particularly in jurisdictions managing arboviral disease risk or routine vector monitoring programs. The equipment serves operational needs in disease prevention, environmental monitoring, and integrated pest management rather than laboratory or research applications.

The City of Philadelphia issued a competitive IFB for Reiter Cummings Inspired Gravid Traps (B2727498) with a due date of July 15, 2026, as a micro purchase under $41,000. The solicitation required net pricing, FOB Destination, with a 365-day term and standard insurance requirements of $500,000 general liability and $300,000 automobile liability. The City accepted quotes electronically through PHLContracts and reserved discretion to award as a whole or by line item to the lowest responsible bidder. Beyond Philadelphia's documented activity, recent opportunities under this code appear limited; geographic spread and repeat-buyer patterns cannot be reliably characterized from the available recent-opportunity records.
