UNSPSC 41102513: Entomological display units

UNSPSC 41102513 Entomological display units is a Commodity code covering equipment used for observing, capturing, or monitoring insects—in this case, disease-vector insects such as mosquitoes. The City of Philadelphia recently solicited Reiter Cummings Inspired Gravid Traps, specialized containers designed to attract gravid (egg-bearing) female mosquitoes for surveillance and population assessment. State and local health departments, vector-control districts, and municipal public-health agencies procure these units to support disease surveillance, integrated pest-management programs, and epidemiological monitoring in response to emerging vector-borne diseases. The procurement vehicle is straightforward: municipalities and public-health authorities issue micro-purchases or small IFBs for these devices when inventory requires replenishment or program expansion.

The Philadelphia solicitation (B2727498, due July 15, 2026) is the most recent activity visible under this code. The micro-purchase threshold of $41,000 and the one-year contract term are typical for municipal entomological equipment buys. Philadelphia requires electronic submission through its PHLContracts portal, local-business-entity certification, workers' compensation and general liability insurance, and compliance with nondiscrimination and ethics requirements. The source provides no evidence of geographic spread beyond Philadelphia or repeat-buyer patterns across multiple jurisdictions, nor does it name other recent opportunities under this code. Activity appears limited; this Commodity code sees sparse state and local solicitation activity.
