NIGP 48560: Insecticides and Repellents, Household

NIGP 48560 Insecticides and Repellents, Household, an Item code, encompasses consumable pest-control chemicals and related supplies that state and local governments procure to support operations across fire rescue departments, public facilities, schools, and specialized mosquito-control divisions. Recent solicitations show demand for both narrow product categories—insect repellent for municipal facilities—and broader consumable suites bundled with janitorial supplies, cleaning chemicals, and maintenance products for high-volume institutional users. School districts and county governments are the primary buyers, often combining pest-control products into larger custodial or grounds-maintenance contracts rather than buying them in isolation.

Issuing bodies include county commissions, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an ITB on July 7, 2026, due July 24, 2026, for janitorial and operational supplies—estimated at $765,679.84 for one year and serving 47 fire stations—with insecticides and repellents as line items within the broader consumables scope. The City of Philadelphia solicited insect repellent through a micro purchase (B2627056, due May 18, 2026, ceiling $40,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U) and canine safety kits including repellents (B2727387, due June 30, 2026, ceiling $43,000) on its PHLContracts platform. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies (due June 4, 2026), and Muscogee County School District in Columbus, Georgia solicited custodial supplies and equipment across 104 line items (26-022, due May 22, 2026). Bergen County, New Jersey established catalog pricing for mosquito control products including adulticides and larvicides under a cooperative purchasing vehicle (BC-BID-26-15.1, rebid due April 21, 2026, and prior iteration due March 11, 2026) serving 270-plus cooperative members across 15-plus counties. Pasco County, Florida issued an IFB for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis (IFB-SP-26-074, due June 16, 2026, covering two maintenance facilities). Geographic activity centers on Florida, Texas, New Jersey, and Georgia, with cooperative purchasing extending reach across multiple states. Most opportunities are as-needed or annual consumables contracts with FOB Destination pricing, requiring authorized distributor status, compliance certifications, and standard delivery windows. Incumbent vendor replacement and contract continuity are key drivers—NISD specifically warned vendors that failure to respond to the new RFP would jeopardize their continued supply to the district.
