UNSPSC 72102100: Pest control

UNSPSC 72102100 Pest control, a Class code, encompasses routine and emergency pest management services including rodent control, insect treatment, termite inspection, bed bug eradication, wildlife removal, and integrated pest management planning across government facilities. State and local procurement activity under this code spans school districts, state agencies, county governments, municipalities, transit authorities, and special-purpose institutional facilities, with school systems and state-operated residential centers appearing most frequently as repeat buyers over the past 30 days. Recent solicitations range from comprehensive multi-facility contracts covering dozens of locations to specialized single-building scope; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for pest control at state supported living centers (Brenham, San Angelo, and Abilene), Richmond County Board of Education in Georgia is seeking proposals for coverage across 55 school facilities totaling 5.6 million square feet, and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority issued an RFP for integrated pest management across four zones spanning 3.7 million square feet of transit infrastructure.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, California, Massachusetts, Florida, and Ohio, with additional volume in Illinois, Connecticut, Arizona, and Mississippi. Representative current opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017576 for heat treatment bed bug eradication at Brenham State Supported Living Center (bids due August 3, 2026), Richmond County Board of Education's RFP#26-208 for pest control across 55 schools (proposals due August 6, 2026), the City of New Haven's ITB 2026ITB375 for on-call pest and rodent control at 49 school facilities (bids due July 9, 2026), the California Department of State Hospitals' IFB#26-41053-000 for pest control across six DSH campuses including Napa, Atascadero, Coalinga, Metropolitan, Patton, and Sacramento (bids due August 11, 2026), and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's RFP 76-26 for integrated pest management across four geographic zones (proposals due July 27, 2026). Set-asides and preferences appear in selected opportunities: the California Department of Veterans Affairs restricted solicitation 26HS0012 to small businesses and micro-businesses, the Abilene SSLC procurement is set-aside for socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, and the MBTA RFP weights supplier diversity commitments at 25 percent of technical scoring. Most contracts run one to three years with optional renewals; insurance minimums typically include $1 million commercial general liability per occurrence and workers' compensation. Prevailing wage requirements apply in some jurisdictions; integrated pest management plan development and 24/7 emergency response capability are increasingly standard expectations.
