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, names a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide actively solicited by state and local governments for mosquito control and vector management operations. State and local buyers procure deltamethrin-based products as part of integrated mosquito control programs, public health pest management, and facility-wide pest control contracts; the product appears in multiline chemical bids alongside complementary larvicides, adulticides, and adjuvants. Issuing bodies span county governments (Brazoria County, Polk County, Volusia County, Hillsborough County, Clay County in Florida and Texas), city procurement departments (Dallas, Ocala), state agencies (Washington State Department of Enterprise Services, Georgia Department of Corrections), and special districts including transit authorities and public health agencies. Dallas and Volusia County each posted multiple pest control and mosquito control solicitations in recent months, suggesting sustained procurement activity at larger municipal and county scales. Washington State Department of Enterprise Services issued a statewide vegetation management RFP (12225RFP, due August 20, 2026) establishing a master contract vehicle for liquid and dry herbicides and related products with historical annual spending ranging from $914,419 to $3.87 million; Brazoria County solicited mosquito control chemicals including permethrin, malathion, naled, and related products under ITB #26-50 (due May 27, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $245,995 for malathion alone. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners conducted a sealed bid competition for herbicides and insecticides (ITB-26-00146, due March 6, 2026) with a two-year contract value of $53,797.50.

The code sees concentrated recent activity across Texas, Florida, and Washington, with secondary activity in Georgia and Missouri. Mosquito control chemical procurements cluster in Texas and Florida—Brazoria County, Dallas, and Volusia County and Polk County in Florida—reflecting endemic vector management demand in warm climates. Washington's statewide vegetation management RFP signals demand from highway maintenance and forestry applications across the Pacific Northwest. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services RFP establishing a statewide contract with up to four Main Awards and one Reserved Award per category, restricted to highest-scoring responsive bidders qualifying as Washington Small Business or Certified Veteran-Owned Business for the Reserved Award slot; Dallas's mosquito control chemical bid (IFSCCSB2600029, due July 22, 2026), requiring products new, unopened, and in original packaging delivered FOB to 7901 Goforth Road; and Brazoria County's mosquito control chemical ITB specifying ten product lines including Permethrin 30-30 Concentrate, Malathion, Naled, and Methoprene products in sizes from 2.5-gallon cans to 55-gallon drums, with contract commencement July 14, 2026, and four optional renewal periods. Procurement terms typically require FOB delivery, EPA registration and Material Safety Data Sheets, workers' compensation and general liability insurance ($1 million minimum per occurrence), and compliance with federal pesticide statutes. No set-aside or preference program restrictions appear standard across the code's recent activity, though Washington's RFP includes explicit SBE and VBE Reserved Award pathways and a five percent cost reduction for bidders certifying PCB-free products tested by independent laboratory.
