UNSPSC 10191509: Insecticides

UNSPSC 10191509 Insecticides is a Commodity code encompassing pesticides and chemical pest-control products purchased by state and local governments for facility maintenance, grounds management, and disease-vector control. State and local buyers source insecticides as consumables within broader pest management contracts, herbicide and vegetation-control programs, and specialized mosquito and vector-control operations. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties procuring both ready-to-use insecticides (granular and liquid formulations) and contracting services in which insecticides are applied by licensed operators to multiple facilities, residential complexes, or public lands; the code captures the chemical product itself rather than application labor alone. Issuing bodies include municipalities (City of Tucson, City of McKinney), counties (Hillsborough County, Pasco County, Pinellas County), state departments (Washington State Department of Enterprise Services, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and educational institutions (Valencia College). State agencies and criminal justice departments procure insecticides as consumables; counties and cities more often bundle insecticide procurement with recurring pest-control service contracts or as line items within vegetation-management open-end agreements.

Recent activity spans Arizona, Texas, Florida, Washington, and Georgia. Representative solicitations include Valencia College's college-wide pest control services (Invitation to Bid ITB202604, response due September 3, 2025, award made to PowerX Inc. at $88,749.84 for a three-year initial term with optional two-year extension), the City of Tucson's RFP No. 240058 for pest and termite control across three service groups (response due July 11, 2024), Hillsborough County's competitive sealed bid for herbicide spraying and planting services with an estimated project value of $544,532.50 (ITB2600339, due August 3, 2026), Pasco County's IFB-SP-26-074 for as-needed herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides (due June 16, 2026, contract through September 30, 2029 with optional two-year extension), and Washington State Department of Enterprise Services' statewide contract vehicle for vegetation-management products including aquatic and ornamental herbicides (RFP due August 20, 2026, cumulative four-year spending approximately $7.77 million with primary purchasers being state agencies at 45.33% and counties at 45.11%). Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple procurements for poisons, insecticides, and fungicides (dry formulation) but specific commodity details are not disclosed in available documentation.
