UNSPSC 10191513: Deltamethrin

A potent insecticide, effective by contact and ingestion against wide range of pests. It prevents the sodium channels from functioning so that no transmission of nerve impluses can take place.

UNSPSC 10191513 Deltamethrin, a Commodity code, represents a narrow slice of state and local pesticide procurement—the purchase of a single active ingredient used in pest control formulations—but the recent opportunities in the dataset are predominantly tagged with this code despite spanning a much broader scope of pest management services and chemical products that rarely feature deltamethrin specifically. The work actually being solicited under this code tag spans recurring pest control services (monthly or quarterly treatments at municipal facilities, schools, transit authorities, and county buildings), aerial mosquito control operations, specialized treatments for invasive species like the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter, herbicide spraying for roadside vegetation management, and mosquito control chemical procurement—none of which are inherently deltamethrin-dependent. The issuing bodies are predominantly counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities (mosquito control districts, transit authorities, parks departments) across multiple states, with repeat activity from Florida jurisdictions including Orange County, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and the City of Ocala, as well as from Georgia, Texas, Nevada, California, and Washington. The code shows minimal actual deltamethrin-specific activity; instead, procurement offices appear to have applied this commodity code as a catch-all for pest management and vegetation control contracts.

Representative recent solicitations illustrate the mismatch: Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas) issued RFP PEST1026 for general pest control services with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; the City of Ocala issued ITB FAC/260303 for comprehensive monthly pest control across 56 city facilities requiring EPA-approved residual insecticides and crack-and-crevice application methods, with a two-year initial term and optional one-year renewals; Sacramento County issued RFB 2026-RFB-0093 for Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter treatment using approved foliar sprays (Tempo SC Ultra, Altus, Merit 2F) and soil injection products (Merit 2F, CoreTect)—none of which are deltamethrin formulations. Brazoria County (Texas) procured ten distinct mosquito control chemicals including Permethrin, Malathion, Naled, and B.T.I., with estimated annual spending ranging from $18,262 to $245,995 depending on product. Washington State Department of Enterprise Services established a statewide vegetation management contract vehicle for liquid and dry herbicides, aquatic herbicides, adjuvants, and ornamental products with four-year cumulative historical spending of approximately $7.77 million across state agencies (45.33%), counties (45.11%), and special districts (9.64%). The code exhibits broad geographic spread across Florida, Texas, Georgia, California, Nevada, and Washington, but the procurement activity it tracks does not center on deltamethrin as an active ingredient—it reflects a systemic misclassification of general pest management services and multi-product chemical procurement into a single commodity taxonomy entry.
