UNSPSC 10191708: Insect control traps, non toxic, chemical free

Pest control devices use mechanical or physical methods to trap, destroy, repel, or mitigate a pest. They don't use any pesticide. For example, glue boards, noisemakers, shiny foils that frighten birds, and bug zappers are pest control devices.

UNSPSC 10191708 Insect control traps, non toxic, chemical free is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not center on non-toxic, chemical-free traps. Instead, the code shows activity for full-service pest control contracts, aerial mosquito control, replacement UV bulbs for fly traps, and custodial supplies — a mismatch suggesting either broad tagging by procurement offices or a divergence between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought. The genuine market signal in the recent opportunities block is comprehensive commercial pest control services delivered to multi-site facilities by licensed pest control operators, with contracts including monthly routine treatments, emergency response, and specialized services across college campuses, city facilities, and county properties. State and local buyers issuing under this code include school districts, city governments, county departments, and special-purpose districts; Valencia College (Florida), the City of McKinney (Texas), and Pinellas County Mosquito Control are repeat issuers in the past six months.

The recent activity clusters in Florida and Texas. Representative opportunities include Valencia College's ITB 2026-04 for college-wide pest control across eleven locations totaling 2.6 million square feet (bid deadline September 3, 2025; three vendors submitted, with PowerX, Inc. ranked first at $88,749.84), the City of McKinney's ITB 2672 for interior pest control services at least monthly to all city locations (bid deadline August 20, 2026), and Pinellas County Public Works' ITQ 26-0443-ITQ for aerial larvicide application services on an as-needed basis (estimated annual contract value $400,000 based on 4,000 acres at $100 per acre; quotations due April 23, 2026). Philadelphia also posted two micro purchases for replacement UV bulbs for existing Flowtron fly-control devices in May and July 2026. Qualification requirements commonly include three or more years of commercial pest management experience, proof of licensing, insurance thresholds ranging from $2 million to $5 million in general liability, and compliance with EPA, FDA, and USDA pesticide approval standards.
