NIGP 48659: Insect Control Units, Chemical or Electric, Lures and Traps, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 48659, Insect Control Units, Chemical or Electric, Lures and Traps, Environmentally Certified Products, is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized pest detection and control devices—primarily monitoring traps, lures, and related equipment—for agricultural pest surveillance, commercial facilities maintenance, and residential property management. Recent solicitations show a split between comprehensive pest control services contracts (where traps and treatment materials support broader service delivery) and standalone procurement of trap components and pheromone lures for state agricultural programs. Valencia College's ITB for college-wide pest control services across eleven locations totaling 2.6 million square feet exemplifies the integrated approach, requiring licensed pest control operators to deploy approved materials and equipment; the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda's as-needed pest control services RFQ similarly encompasses routine treatments, emergency response, and specialty services including rodent and bed bug control across residential and office properties. California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) dominates the specialized-trap segment with repeated RFQs for yellow panel traps for fruit fly detection, pink bollworm delta traps, Japanese beetle trap tops and catch cans, and European grapevine moth lures—all supporting agricultural pest delimitation and eradication programs. Issuing bodies span state agricultural departments, county housing authorities, city governments, and higher-education institutions; CDFA appears as the most active single buyer, with multiple RFQs posted between May and July 2026.

The code sees concentrated recent activity in California, Florida, and Texas. CDFA procurements dominate the source record, with RFQs for 200,000 yellow panel traps for Asian citrus psyllid control (RFQ P26-0038, due July 28, 2026, with a not-to-exceed budget of $60,000 and small-business set-aside), 60,000 pink bollworm delta traps (RFQ P25-1735, due June 11, 2026, with California small-business and DVBE preference provisions), 6,000 Japanese beetle trap tops and catch cans (RFQ P25-1433A, due June 3, 2026, samples required by mid-June), and 40,000 EGVM lures in red rubber septums (RFQ P25-1539, due June 1, 2026, small-business and DVBE only). Outside California, Valencia College (Florida) awarded a non-exclusive continuing service contract for pest control across seven campuses following an ITB (ITB202604, due September 3, 2025, with three bids submitted ranging from $18,300.00 to $88,749.84 annually); the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda posted an ITB for as-needed pest control services effective 2026–2030 (ITB 2026ITBAS003, due August 28, 2026); and the City of McKinney, Texas requested bids for monthly interior pest control services at all city locations (ITB 2672ITB, due August 20, 2026). CDFA RFQs consistently restrict participation to certified small businesses or disabled veteran business enterprises, require detailed technical specifications with samples or performance testing, and mandate all-inclusive FOB Destination pricing.
