NIGP 02081: Rodent Control Equipment, Tractor Operated

NIGP 02081 Rodent Control Equipment, Tractor Operated is an Item code that captures pest management equipment and services state and local governments buy to maintain facility health and safety across campuses, municipal properties, and public buildings. The recent opportunities block shows no state or local solicitations specifically for tractor-operated rodent control equipment; instead, the recent records reflect broader pest control service procurements and unrelated municipal purchasing activity. Valencia College issued an ITB for college-wide pest control services across eleven locations totaling approximately 2.6 million square feet, requiring a licensed Pest Control Operator to provide monthly routine pest control, follow-up retreats, emergency response, and specialized services. The City of Lubbock issued an ITB for bee and hive removal. These records show that state and local buyers are actively soliciting pest management and wildlife control services, though the recent opportunities do not specifically isolate tractor-operated equipment procurement as a distinct line item.

Geographic spread of pest control activity appears concentrated in Florida and Texas based on the recent records. Valencia College (Florida) and the City of Lubbock (Texas) represent the primary recent bidders in this service area. The Valencia College procurement closed with three vendors bidding and a non-exclusive Continuing Service Contract structure offering a three-year initial term with options to extend for two additional one-year periods. Evaluation criteria included pricing, licensing status, wildlife removal capabilities, equipment lists, and compliance documentation. The Lubbock opportunity (ITB 26-19854-YB, due October 8, 2026) provides minimal scope detail in available materials. Without additional recent records naming tractor-operated equipment specifically, the code appears to see limited direct procurement activity as a standalone commodity; most buying flows through integrated pest control service contracts where equipment is bundled under operator scope.
