UNSPSC 10191511: Fipronil

Fipronil is a member of the phenyl pyrazole class of pesticides that act on the nervous system of insects.

UNSPSC 10191511 Fipronil is a Commodity code that captures a narrow slice of state and local pest-management procurement — specifically, fipronil-based products used in mosquito control and general pest suppression. Recent state and local solicitations show that governments procure fipronil and related insecticides as components of broader chemical purchasing contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code sits within a larger ecosystem of pest-control chemicals, herbicides, and integrated pest-management services that dominate actual spending at the jurisdiction level. Fipronil itself appears in bundled chemical requisitions for mosquito abatement and facility pest control, often alongside permethrin, malathion, naled, and other broad-spectrum insecticides. City and county purchasing departments issue the bulk of relevant solicitations, with special-purpose districts (transit authorities, utility commissions, college systems) and state agencies also active. Issuing bodies include the City of Dallas, Brazoria County and Volusia County in Texas and Florida respectively, Washington State Department of Enterprise Services, Gwinnett County and DeKalb County in Georgia, Clay County and Pinellas County in Florida, and Columbus State University and Valencia College. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Washington, with secondary activity across Missouri and other states.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the purchasing context. Brazoria County, Texas issued ITB #26-50 in late May 2026 for mosquito control chemicals including permethrin, malathion, naled, and methoprene formulations, with pricing on an as-needed basis and contract commencement in July 2026; the City of Dallas posted competitive solicitations for mosquito control chemicals (due July 22, 2026) and a three-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity herbicide and pesticide agreement (due July 24, 2026), both FOB delivery to 7901 Goforth Road. Washington State Department of Enterprise Services issued RFP 12225 in July 2026 to establish a statewide contract vehicle for vegetation management and related products serving state agencies and municipalities, with historical annual spending ranging from $914,419 to $3.87 million and contract awards anticipated October 1, 2026. Volusia County and Pinellas County in Florida, Gwinnett County in Georgia, and Parkway School District in Missouri all posted pest-control chemical and services solicitations between February and July 2026. The code shows consistent activity but rarely as a primary commodity — fipronil-based products are ordered through broader chemical supply contracts and integrated pest-management frameworks where cost and availability compete against alternative active ingredients and application methods.
