NIGP 48560: Insecticides and Repellents, Household

NIGP 48560 Insecticides and Repellents, Household is an Item code under which state and local governments procure pest control services—encompassing monthly routine treatments, emergency response, and specialized services at multiple facility locations—as well as consumable insecticide products including aerosol formulations and permethrin sprays for operational inventory. Recent solicitations reflect a split between larger recurring service contracts awarded to licensed pest control operators and smaller direct-purchase commodity procurements. Issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: county school districts and independent school districts (Cobb County School District in Georgia, Polk County and Northside Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), municipalities (City of Philadelphia, City of McKinney in Texas), and community colleges (Valencia College in Florida). Cities and counties procure both ongoing pest control services and operational supplies containing insecticides as part of broader janitorial and facilities maintenance stock. Dallas County, Texas also solicits insecticide products directly. The scope of work under this code includes licensed commercial pest management with compliance requirements for EPA, FDA, and USDA approval; three years' minimum operating history and insurance requirements (typically $1 million to $3 million general liability); and fixed-price delivery across multiple facility locations.
