NIGP 96210: Animal Trapping Services

NIGP 96210 Animal Trapping Services, an Item code, encompasses removal and exclusion of nuisance wildlife from school properties, parks, and municipal facilities across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments under this code procure live and dead wildlife removal — including bats, rats, snakes, opossums, raccoons, bobcats, and birds — along with animal proofing and exclusion services to prevent re-entry. The work is transactional and event-driven, with bidders required to meet rapid response times (emergency calls within two hours, quotations within forty-eight hours) and to carry general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence. School districts and municipalities are the primary issuing bodies; recent opportunities show activity from independent school districts (Sarasota County Schools, Clayton County Public Schools) and city parks departments (City of DeBary).

Recent activity centers in Florida, with two prominent school district solicitations posted in mid-2026. The School Board of Sarasota County issued ITB Bid #27-0328 for nuisance wildlife and animal control across Sarasota County school properties, with bids due August 14, 2026, and board action scheduled for September 15, 2026; the contract structure includes hourly labor rates, net-cost-plus-10-percent markup for materials and subcontracts, and a one-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals. Clayton County Public Schools issued IFB 012-26 for pest control services including termite inspection and treatment on an as-needed basis across the district, due August 4, 2026, requiring bidders to demonstrate insurance, certifications, and experience with educational institutions. Bidders may self-identify as Small/Minority Business Enterprise (S/MBE) certified by the Florida Department of Management Services Office of Supplier Diversity under the Sarasota County procurement.
