NIGP 12077: Rocket Charges and Cannons, Wildlife Trapping

NIGP 12077 Rocket Charges and Cannons, Wildlife Trapping is an Item code covering nuisance wildlife removal, exclusion, and animal control services that state and local governments procure to manage pest populations on public property. State and local buyers under this code include school districts, counties, and municipal governments soliciting live and dead wildlife removal services across species including bats, rats, snakes, opossums, raccoons, bobcats, and birds, with animal-proofing and exclusion work as permitted by law. Pricing structures typically distinguish standard working hours from after-hours and weekend emergency response, materials and subcontracted services at net cost plus markup (capped at 10 percent in typical arrangements), and firm pricing terms across the contract period. Vendors must demonstrate three-year verifiable work history in wildlife and animal control, carry general liability insurance, and comply with background screening and chemical registration requirements when applicable.

The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida posted an ITB for nuisance wildlife and animal control services in September 2026 with a response deadline of August 14, 2026, establishing a one-year contract with two optional renewal periods and requiring two-hour emergency response times on school district properties throughout Sarasota County. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment in May 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, structured to establish contracting solutions available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada, including participating Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima). Recent activity under this code reflects school district procurement in Florida and multi-jurisdictional cooperative frameworks spanning the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest.
