UNSPSC 70151502: Forest pest control

UNSPSC 70151502 Forest pest control, a Commodity code, encompasses aerial and ground mosquito control spraying, integrated pest management across municipal facilities, live mosquitofish supply for larval control, pest control maintenance at county and city properties, noxious weed removal, and specialized forestry treatments—services state and local governments actively procure to manage public health threats, facility cleanliness, and land stewardship. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments, cities, special districts, and tribal entities; Hillsborough County, Florida has appeared multiple times with separate procurements for aerial and ground mosquito spraying, mosquito control platform software, and mosquitofish supply, signaling ongoing operational demand. Cities including South Fulton and Orlando are seeking citywide pest control and integrated pest management services across dozens of facilities, while counties such as Gwinnett, Collier, Walton, and Pinellas are contracting for routine exterminating services, bee removal, landscape pest management, and aerial larvicide application. The geographic spread reflects concentrated recent activity in Florida (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Collier, Walton, Clay counties and Orlando), with secondary activity in Georgia (Gwinnett, South Fulton), Oregon (Butte Falls, Marion County), Utah, and Texas.

Recent representative opportunities illustrate the code's scope diversity. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00311 for aerial and ground mosquito control spraying services on a three-year contract estimated at $2.756 million, with bids due July 20, 2026, requiring current Florida commercial pesticide applicator licenses, minimum truck and aircraft staffing, and GPS data collection capability. The City of South Fulton, Georgia issued RFP PE66020NONST2027000000099 for citywide pest control maintenance across 29 facilities totaling 398,000 square feet, with proposals due August 4, 2026, requiring Georgia pest control licenses and IPM certification, priced as monthly lump-sum charges by facility category. Collier County Procurement Services issued ITB 25-8463R for bee removal and eradication services across two categories—live removal by registered beekeepers and pest control agent eradication—on a per-site basis with three-year initial terms and two optional one-year renewals, with the County historically spending approximately $50,000 annually. The Town of Butte Falls, Oregon solicited RFP SKB151900016356 for noxious weed removal and treatment on 446 acres within its community forest, with proposals due April 1, 2026, requiring Oregon Commercial Pesticide Applicator Licenses and a maximum not-to-exceed contract value of $15,000. Activity under the code shows consistent demand for licensed, certified pest management across municipal infrastructure, open space, and public health applications, with contract terms typically three years and multiple renewal options reflecting the ongoing operational nature of pest control work.
