NIGP 02081: Rodent Control Equipment, Tractor Operated

NIGP 02081 Rodent Control Equipment, Tractor Operated is an Item code under which state and local governments procure motorized pest management equipment for grounds maintenance and facility operations. Recent solicitations show that the code encompasses broader pest control services and equipment beyond the narrow tractor-operated scope, with state and local agencies, school districts, and higher education institutions soliciting pest management solutions including rodent control, general pest suppression, and related services. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments, school districts, and public higher education institutions; Valencia College in Florida and Butts County School System in Georgia appear as recent buyers. The mix of solicitations reflects demand from municipal administration, K–12 education, and post-secondary facilities managing pest control across single or multiple campus locations.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Pacific Northwest based on recent postings. Valencia College's college-wide pest control solicitation (ITB 2026-04, due September 3, 2025) sought a licensed pest control operator for eleven locations totaling approximately 2.6 million square feet with monthly routine service, emergency response, and specialized capabilities; three vendors submitted bids, with PowerX, Inc. ranked first at $88,749.84 annually. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) that established a contracting framework available to thousands of governmental agencies, K–12 school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada, though this broader solicitation may extend beyond traditional rodent control scope. Butts County School System in Georgia posted an IFB for School Nutrition Program food supplies (due May 26, 2026) that, while food-focused, demonstrates demand from school districts for contracted services to multiple facilities. Recent solicitation volume is modest; the Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice (due August 15, 2026) does not constitute a procurement opportunity.
