UNSPSC 41102511: Entomological sticky traps

UNSPSC 41102511 Entomological sticky traps (Commodity) covers the adhesive or mechanical traps used in vector and pest surveillance programs by state and local public health and facility-management agencies. State and local governments procure these traps for mosquito control, disease-vector monitoring, and integrated pest-management operations at health departments, environmental agencies, parks systems, and municipal facilities. The City of Philadelphia's recent micro-purchase solicitation for Reiter Cummings Inspired Gravid Traps demonstrates the practical scope: municipalities buy specific trap models or bulk quantities as part of ongoing seasonal or year-round mosquito and arthropod surveillance. Issuing bodies under this code are predominantly municipal and county health and public works departments, with occasional activity from school districts and transit authorities managing facility pest control.

Recent activity is sparse. Philadelphia's IFB for gravid traps (Solicitation B2727498, due July 15, 2026) represents a single visible opportunity in the recent-opportunities block. The micro-purchase threshold ($41,000) and the 365-day contract term indicate routine municipal procurement for consumable surveillance equipment. Philadelphia requires bidders to quote through PHLContracts, maintain specified insurance coverage, and comply with local-business-entity certification and nondiscrimination provisions. No geographic concentration or repeat-buyer pattern emerges from the available source material. The code shows minimal recent solicitation activity across state and local jurisdictions, which may reflect the specialized nature of entomological procurement or procurement consolidation through standing cooperative agreements rather than frequent open bids.
