UNSPSC 41102508: Entomological aspirators

UNSPSC 41102508 Entomological aspirators (Commodity) comprises insect-collection equipment used in disease surveillance and vector-control programs. State and local governments buy entomological aspirators and related trapping equipment to monitor mosquito and other arthropod populations, particularly in the context of infectious disease prevention and environmental health management. Recent solicitations show municipalities and school districts acquiring gravid traps and specialized collection apparatus as part of broader public health and educational procurement activity.

The geographic distribution and issuing-body mix are limited by available recent opportunities. The City of Philadelphia issued an IFB for Reiter Cummings Inspired Gravid Traps (Solicitation B2727498) as a micro purchase under $41,000, with a response deadline of July 15, 2026, and a 365-day contract term. A separate RFP from Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas (RFP #26-101) posted April 17, 2026 with a June 5, 2026 deadline encompasses Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources across multiple program areas, including agricultural science; the scope is broad enough to encompass entomological equipment if used in CTE coursework, though the Philadelphia gravid-trap procurement is the only clearly targeted opportunity in the recent record. The code shows sparse recent activity; most state and local procurement under this Commodity code does not appear in the public opportunities stream at the frequency or scale seen in higher-tier UNSPSC families. Buyers in this space tend toward small-dollar, single-unit or low-volume purchases managed through micro-buy or cooperative-purchasing channels rather than published competitive solicitations.
