NIGP 87527: Flea, Tick and Insect Control Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 87527 Flea, Tick and Insect Control Equipment and Supplies, an Item code, encompasses pest control services and materials that state and local governments procure for facility-wide treatment across campuses, municipal buildings, and operational sites. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring comprehensive monthly pest control, emergency response, specialized treatments for multiple pest types, EPA-approved pesticides and application materials, and licensed operator labor bundled into recurring service contracts. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include higher-education institutions and municipal governments, each managing multi-location pest control across large facility portfolios. Valencia College in Florida, for example, manages pest control across eleven campus locations totaling 2.6 million square feet; the City of McKinney, Texas, contracts for interior pest control across all municipal facilities on a monthly basis.

Recent activity centers in Florida and Texas. Valencia College issued ITB 202604 for college-wide pest control services with a response date of September 3, 2025, requiring licensed pest control operators with minimum three years' commercial experience, $3 million in General Liability Insurance, and compliance with extensive EPA, FDA, and USDA approval requirements; the College received three bids and intends to award a non-exclusive Continuing Service Contract for an initial three-year term with two optional one-year extensions, potentially reaching five years total. The City of McKinney, Texas posted ITB 2672 on July 24, 2026 for interior pest control services at all City locations on at least a monthly basis, with bids due August 20, 2026. Both solicitations reflect demand for fixed-price, performance-based service contracts with penalty provisions for late service or reporting failures, strict vendor qualification requirements including insurance and licensing verification, and MBE/WBE participation opportunities.
