UNSPSC 10191508: Termite shields

UNSPSC 10191508 Termite shields (Commodity) covers chemical pest-control products and application services that state and local governments procure to manage insects, vegetation, and rodents across facilities, grounds, and rights-of-way. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and specialized pest-control services for highways, municipal grounds, correctional facilities, schools, colleges, residential housing, parks, and airports. The issuing-body mix spans state departments, counties, municipalities, special districts, college systems, and transit authorities. Washington State Department of Enterprise Services, Hillsborough County (Florida), Pasco County (Florida), Pinellas County (Florida), the City of Tucson (Arizona), Valencia College (Florida), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all solicited under or adjacent to this code in the past four months. Activity is concentrated in state cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-jurisdictional statewide contracts that serve agencies, municipalities, and special districts simultaneously—a model that Washington DES exemplifies with its four-year cumulative spend of $7.77 million distributed across state agencies (45.33%), counties (45.11%), and special districts (9.64%).

Recent opportunities span the Southeast and Southwest, with the densest recent activity in Florida and Washington.
