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 (Commodity) covers pest control chemicals and related services that state and local governments procure to manage pest infestations across facilities, rights-of-way, and public lands. Recent activity shows government demand spans routine facility pest control, mosquito management, herbicide application, and specialized treatments such as Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter eradication and aerial larvicide application. Issuing bodies include city procurement departments (Ocala, Dallas, McKinney, St. Cloud), county commissioners and public works offices (Volusia, Gwinnett, Hillsborough, Sacramento, Orange, Pinellas, Brazoria), independent school districts (Harlingen), state agencies (Nevada Army National Guard, Georgia Department of Corrections, Washington Department of Enterprise Services), and special districts (Valencia College). State procurement offices solicit both chemical supplies and application services, often as fixed-price contracts with monthly or quarterly service schedules. Cities and counties dominate the opportunity flow, with several jurisdictions posting pest control solicitations simultaneously in the past four months.

Geographic concentration spans Florida (Ocala, Volusia, Hillsborough, St. Cloud, Orange, Pinellas, Polk counties and Valencia College), Texas (Harlingen ISD, Dallas, McKinney, Brazoria County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, White County, State of Georgia), and Nevada (Southern Nevada), with Washington State establishing a statewide vegetation management contract vehicle covering herbicides and related products. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Ocala's ITB for monthly pest control services across 56 city facilities with a two-year initial term and two optional one-year renewals (response deadline Jan 8, 2026; note: deadline appears inconsistent with posting date and may reflect a data error in source); Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District's RFP for pest control services (response deadline Oct 19, 2026); and Sacramento County's RFB for Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter pesticide treatment with capacity requirements of up to 20 properties per day and a 12-month initial term with four optional one-year extensions (response deadline Aug 26, 2026). Brazoria County solicited mosquito control chemicals including Permethrin, Malathion, Naled, and B.T.I. Bacillus Thuringiensis with estimated annual expenditures exceeding $550,000 (bid deadline May 27, 2026). Washington State Department of Enterprise Services is pursuing a statewide RFP for vegetation management products organized into three contract categories with four-year cumulative historical spending of approximately $7.77 million, reserved awards available for small business and veteran-owned certifications, and virtual pre-bid conference scheduled July 15, 2026.
