UNSPSC 10191519: Telfubenzuron

A pesticide used to address locust infestations.

UNSPSC 10191519 Telfubenzuron, a Commodity code, names a mosquito control chemical that state and local governments procure as part of integrated pest management programs, though recent solicitations tag telfubenzuron indirectly under broader pest control and mosquito abatement buys rather than through chemical-specific line items. State and local procurement activity under this code spans cities, counties, school districts, and specialized agencies—primarily Florida counties (Volusia, Polk, Pinellas, Clay), Texas municipalities and counties (Dallas, Brazoria), and Georgia jurisdictions (Gwinnett, DeKalb, Columbus State University). The scope of work includes purchase of EPA-registered mosquito control chemicals for application in adulticiding, larviciding, and integrated mosquito management programs; representative solicitations show cities and counties procuring ready-to-use formulations and concentrates in bulk quantities (2.5-gallon to 55-gallon containers) for county-level distribution and application. Dallas has posted multiple informal solicitations for mosquito control chemicals in recent weeks, establishing itself as a repeat buyer under this code; Brazoria County's May 2026 ITB names ten specific mosquito control products (Permethrin concentrates, Malathion, Naled, B.T.I., Methoprene formulations, and larvicide oils) with annual expenditure estimates ranging from $18,262 to $245,995 per product line. Washington State Department of Enterprise Services issued a statewide cooperative RFP for vegetation management and related products (including aquatic herbicides and related control agents) in July 2026 with four-year cumulative spending of approximately $7.77 million, serving state agencies, counties, and special districts at 45% each and special districts at 9.64%; this RFP permits SBE and veteran-owned business set-asides with Reserved Awards per category.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida (Volusia, Polk, Pinellas, Clay counties), Texas (Dallas, Brazoria County), and Georgia, with secondary activity in Washington, Missouri, and scattered state-level procurements. Brazoria County ITB #26-50 (due May 27, 2026) seeks firm pricing on ten mosquito control chemical line items for a twelve-month term with four optional one-year renewals, requiring EPA registration and Material Safety Data Sheets, F.O.B. destination delivery, and vendor compliance with federal SAM.GOV and D-U-N-S registration; annual spending on Malathion alone was estimated at $245,995. The City of Dallas posted two related opportunities in the past quarter—an April 2026 IFS for pesticides (including mosquito control chemicals) and a July 2026 ITB for mosquito control chemicals—both requiring new, unopened, original packaging, no substitutes, and FOB delivery to the city's Goforth Road facility. Clay County, Florida's April 2026 RFP for comprehensive mosquito control services (not purely chemical procurement) valued integration, personnel qualifications, and local business preference eligibility at five evaluation points, with pricing structured as monthly lump sum for routine services and variable rates for as-needed work. Washington's RFP offers cost reductions to bidders certifying PCB-free products and packaging tested per EPA Analytical Method 1668c, with evaluation weighting 950 points to cost and 50 to Executive Order 18-03 compliance, indicating environmental and sustainability criteria are gaining ground in state-level vegetation and mosquito control procurement.
