UNSPSC 10191516: Malathion

Non systemic insecticide to control Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera in a wide range of crops

UNSPSC 10191516 Malathion is a Commodity code that covers the supply of malathion, an insecticide widely used in mosquito control and vector management programs operated by state and local governments. Recent state and local solicitations show malathion purchased as part of broader mosquito control chemical procurement and integrated pest management contracts. State and local governments procure malathion alongside other insecticides, larvicides, and adjuvants to support mosquito surveillance, larval control, and adult mosquito suppression operations. The issuing bodies include cities, counties, state departments, school districts, and special-purpose districts—most prominently Florida counties and municipalities (Volusia, Polk, Pinellas, Clay), Texas counties (Brazoria, Dallas), Georgia jurisdictions (Gwinnett, DeKalb, Columbus State University), and state departments such as Washington's Department of Enterprise Services. Cities and counties dominate the recent activity, with multiple pest control and mosquito control solicitations posted in the past three months.

Recent opportunities reflect two primary procurement patterns. First, direct chemical supply contracts: Brazoria County, Texas issued ITB #26-50 for mosquito control chemicals (bid due May 27, 2026), specifying malathion bulk pricing at an estimated annual expenditure of $245,995.00 alongside permethrin, naled, and other larvicides in quantities ranging from 2.5-gallon cans to 55-gallon drums. The City of Dallas solicited mosquito control chemicals (Solicitation 219116, due July 22, 2026) and pesticides (Solicitation IFSCCSB6000060, due April 21, 2026) via informal solicitation through the Bonfire online bidding platform, requiring FOB delivery to specified facilities with no substitutions accepted. Second, integrated mosquito management contracts: Washington State Department of Enterprise Services is establishing a statewide vehicle for vegetation management and related products (RFP 12225RFP, due August 20, 2026) with historical annual spending of $914,419 to $3.87 million, supporting state agencies and municipalities across 45% state agency and 45% county procurement. Clay County, Florida sought comprehensive mosquito control program services (RFP 2526084, due April 30, 2026) encompassing larval and adult control. Activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Washington, and Georgia, with most opportunities posted between April and July 2026. The code shows consistent demand across municipal, county, and state procurement functions, with established competitive bidding through formal ITB and RFP processes.
