NIGP 48559: Insect Control Units, Chemical or Electric, Lures and Traps

NIGP Item 48559, Insect Control Units, Chemical or Electric, Lures and Traps, represents the procurement of detection and monitoring devices—primarily sticky traps, pheromone lures, and associated components—deployed by state agriculture departments and county mosquito control programs for pest surveillance and eradication. State and local governments use this code to acquire yellow panel traps for fruit fly detection, delta traps and pheromone lures for commodity crop pest management, mosquito control larvae and adulticidal products, and specialized monitoring equipment such as McPhail glass traps and cotton plugs that integrate with trap systems. The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) dominates recent activity under this code, issuing multiple RFQs for commodity-specific trap inventories and lure components; county mosquito control divisions in Florida and New Jersey solicit mosquito control supplies and equipment on catalog pricing structures; and a handful of municipal and county procurements address general pest control and wildlife removal services where traps and exclusion devices play a supporting role.

Recent solicitations span California, Florida, New Jersey, Georgia, and Texas. The CDFA has posted RFQs for 200,000 yellow panel traps for Asian citrus psyllid programs (RFQ P26-0038, due July 28, 2026), 60,000 pink bollworm delta traps for commodity monitoring (RFQ P25-1735, June 2026), Japanese beetle trap tops and catch cans for statewide delimitation efforts (RFQ P25-1433, May 2026), McPhail glass traps for exotic fruit fly detection (RFQ P25-1235, March 2026), European grapevine moth lures in red rubber septums (RFQ P25-1539, June 2026), cotton plugs for Jackson trap systems (RFQ P25-1145, March 2026), and Trimedlure plugs for EFF control (RFQ P25-1024, February 2026). Bergen County, New Jersey, established catalog pricing for mosquito adulticides, larvicides, and control equipment over a 24-month period (BCBID-26-15, March 2026 and rebid April 2026). Hillsborough County, Florida, solicited as-needed janitorial and operational supplies including pesticides for 47 fire stations under ITB 26-00319 ($765,679.84 estimated value, July 2026). Most CDFA solicitations carry small-business set-asides or DVBE participation incentives, with FOB Destination pricing and California Prompt Payment Act payment terms standard across recent awards. Geographic concentration reflects agricultural pest management priorities in California coupled with routine mosquito control procurement in the Southeast.
