NIGP 81085: Spray Equipment, Pesticide, Machine Powered, Commercial

NIGP 81085 Spray Equipment, Pesticide, Machine Powered, Commercial is an Item code that encompasses state and local procurement of pest control services delivered through mechanical spraying and application equipment, along with the related chemical products and labor. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying recurring pest control treatment across facilities, right-of-way vegetation management with herbicide spraying on roads, and specialized treatments such as Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter eradication. Issuing bodies span school districts (Harlingen Consolidated ISD, Clayton County Public Schools), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, White County Board of Commissioners, Sacramento County, Pasco County), cities (City of Tucson, City of McKinney), special-purpose districts (Valencia College, Glades Electric Cooperative), and state corrections departments (State of Georgia). The work divides into two main tracks: facility-based pest management—monthly interior treatments for crawling insects, flying insects, rodents, termites, and bed bugs across administrative buildings, maintenance shops, schools, housing units, and detention facilities—and infrastructure maintenance using herbicides and mechanical equipment to suppress vegetation along transmission lines, power-line rights-of-way, and road centerlines.

Activity clusters heavily in the South and Southeast: Florida (Valencia College, Glades Electric Cooperative vegetation management, Pasco County herbicide procurement), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Clayton County, State of Georgia, White County), Texas (Harlingen ISD, City of McKinney), and Arizona (City of Tucson), with additional activity in California (Sacramento County GWSS treatment). Recent representative solicitations include Harlingen Consolidated ISD's RFP for pest control services posted September 30, 2026, due October 19, 2026; Glades Electric Cooperative's RFP for right-of-way vegetation trimming across four transmission-line jobs in Florida, due April 23, 2026; Gwinnett County's sealed-bid invitation for annual exterminating services across multiple departments with over 200 service line items, due July 9, 2026; and Pasco County's Invitation for Bid for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis through September 2029, due June 16, 2026. Contract terms typically span one to three years with renewal options extending to five years total. Insurance requirements are standard—$2 million General Liability and $1 million Automobile Liability common across solicitations—and state licensing (pest control operator licenses, applicator certifications, or agricultural department registration) is mandatory where specified.
