UNSPSC 49121508: Mosquito nets

UNSPSC 49121508 Mosquito nets (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code. Recent solicitations show the code is being used to tag mosquito control chemical products, supplies, and equipment — adulticides, larvicides, dusters, misters, backpack sprayers, and truck-mounted ULV units — rather than physical mosquito nets. Bergen County, New Jersey has posted two related solicitations (February and April 2026) seeking catalog pricing for mosquito control chemicals and equipment for its Mosquito Control Division and cooperative purchasing members over 24-month periods, with bids due March 11 and April 21, 2026 respectively. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal taxonomy and the procurement activity actually tagged to it in the field.

Geographic activity centers on New Jersey, where Bergen County serves as the lead agency for the New Jersey Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (covering over 270 members across more than 15 counties) and extends to other public entities nationwide and in Canada through the cooperative structure. The Bergen County solicitations specify pricing for established mosquito control products from manufacturers including Clarke Mosquito Control Products, Adapco, and Valent, with vendors required to hold manufacturer or authorized distributor status and submit pricing as percentage discounts from manufacturer catalogs. Cooperative members must receive identical pricing and terms, though vendors unwilling to extend cooperative pricing will not be penalized for Bergen County's direct award. Beyond the New Jersey activity, the code shows no recent documented mosquito-net-related opportunities in state or local procurement.
