UNSPSC 70141605: Integrated pest management services

UNSPSC 70141605 Integrated pest management services (Commodity) covers field application of pesticides, equipment deployment, and pest eradication across state and local facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code deploy standing crews with spray trucks, backpack equipment, and specialized access gear; maintain standby personnel and materials; and bear responsibility for pesticide procurement, equipment calibration, regulatory compliance, and documented treatment records. Recent opportunities span agricultural pest suppression (particularly Asian Citrus Psyllid control), facility-based rodent and insect management, and wildlife control at public properties. Issuing bodies include state departments of agriculture and fish & wildlife, school districts, and county agencies. The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is the dominant repeat buyer, soliciting three concurrent county-level Asian Citrus Psyllid treatment IFBs in June 2026 alone; the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has posted multiple facility-based pest control solicitations. School districts and state cooperative purchasing programs are secondary users—Paradise Valley Unified School District in Arizona issued an RFP for IPM across 50 facilities, and the State of Utah Division of Purchasing posted a five-year cooperative contract available to state agencies, higher education, K-12 schools, and political subdivisions with historical usage of approximately $1.5 million (2021–2025).

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in California and the Southwest. The CDFA has issued IFB 26-0027 (Kings and Tulare Counties, due June 24, 2026), IFB 26-0029 (Fresno County, due June 24, 2026), and IFB 26-0028 (Kern County, due June 24, 2026), each requiring five to ten operational spray trucks, two standby units, backpack sprayers, and capability to treat trees up to 60+ feet in height using Merit 2F, Tempo SC Ultra, and CoreTect with mandatory 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation. All three CDFA agricultural contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with potential two-year renewals and liquidated damages of $1,000 per day per spray truck for operational delays. The CDFW pest control contracts at Imperial Wildlife Area and San Jacinto Wildlife Area (IFB P2660005, reposted May 2026 with June 1 deadline, later extended to a three-year term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029) cover quarterly IPM across facilities with mandatory Structural Pest Control Board License and Qualified Applicator License (Category B) requirements. Paradise Valley Unified School District in Phoenix (RFP 26-0026003, due February 19, 2026) sought IPM across 50 facilities in Arizona on a firm fixed-price per-square-foot basis with 12-month initial term and renewal options. The State of Utah Division of Purchasing RFP (due May 1, 2026) covers general pest control and wildlife/bird control on a cooperative purchasing vehicle with multiple awards and a 0.75% administrative fee, targeting state agencies, higher education, K-12 schools, counties, and cities statewide.
