UNSPSC 70111712: Parks or gardens spraying services

UNSPSC 70111712 Parks or gardens spraying services is a Commodity code capturing state and local government procurement of outdoor pest management and vegetation control services, grounded in recent solicitations for wildlife removal, mosquito control, aerial spraying, invasive plant management, and specialized applications across municipal facilities, parks, transit systems, and infrastructure properties. The code reflects a diverse mix of spray, treatment, and eradication work rather than landscape maintenance per se—recent opportunities show city and county governments buying acute pest response (bed bug and rodent treatments), ongoing integrated pest management (IPM) across multiple facilities, mosquito control via ground and aerial application, and invasive species management at solid waste and natural areas sites. Issuing bodies span city procurement offices (Tampa, Phoenix, Ocala, Winter Park, Pembroke Pines, Orlando), county commissioners (Hillsborough, Volusia, Gwinnett, Sarasota, Clay, Collier, Brevard, Harris, Walton, Pinellas), state health and transportation agencies (Texas HHSC, New Jersey Treasury), school districts (Midland Public Schools, Valencia College), housing authorities (Boulder County), universities (Columbus State, Middle Georgia State), and municipal transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority). Repeat buyers include Hillsborough County and Texas Health and Human Services Commission, both actively procuring multi-facility and statewide pest control and mosquito abatement under this code in the past four months.

The recent opportunity set clusters into four dominant work types: comprehensive facility pest control (monthly service at 50–301 municipal buildings spanning roach, rodent, termite, bed bug, and wildlife control); mosquito control programs (larval surveillance, ground and aerial adulticide application, trap-based monitoring at county and state scale); invasive plant and nuisance vegetation management (herbicide application at solid waste sites, parks, and rights-of-way); and emergency or single-incident services (bed bug remediation, bee removal, wildlife exclusion). Representative solicitations include the City of Tampa RFQ 26P00436 (wildlife removal and prevention, 100 locations, July 22 due date), the City of Phoenix IFB-27-0400 (manhole roach treatment, 100,000 structures, five-year term, July 30 due date), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016771v2 (statewide mosquito aerial spray and fumigation, September 1, 2026 start, July 24 due date), Hillsborough County ITB-26-00311 (aerial and ground mosquito spraying, $2.756 million over three years, July 20 due date), and the City of Orlando IFB26-0331 (IPM services across 135 municipal facilities, May 8 due date). Geographic spread is heaviest in Florida (Hillsborough, Volusia, Pinellas, Clay, Sarasota, Brevard, Collier counties and multiple cities), Texas (Houston-area Harris County, statewide HHSC procurement, Austin-area Clay County), Georgia (Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb counties, Columbus State University), and Arizona (Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson); activity also appears in New Jersey, Kansas, California, Colorado, and Michigan, suggesting national scope with Florida and Texas as primary hubs. Contracts typically run one to five years with renewal options; pricing is generally firm-fixed or unit-based, with mosquito and aerial work commanding higher valuations ($2+ million over three years) and facility IPM contracts in the $100,000–$500,000 annual range. E-Verify, drug-free workplace certification, background checks, and general liability insurance ($1–$2 million) are nearly universal requirements; Florida, Texas, and Georgia predominate in recent volume.
