UNSPSC 72102102: Termite control services

UNSPSC 72102102 Termite control services (Commodity) reflects a broad pest control market spanning state agencies, county governments, school districts, transit authorities, and correctional facilities. State and local buyers procure integrated pest management (IPM) across institutional properties, using this code for comprehensive services including routine inspections and treatments for termites, bed bugs, rodents, ants, roaches, and other pests. Recent solicitations show active demand for heat treatment fumigation, preventative maintenance on monthly or quarterly schedules, emergency response availability, and detailed record-keeping. The issuing-body mix is heavily weighted toward state-level agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Transportation, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration) alongside county governments (Jefferson County, Cobb County, Gwinnett County, Solano County, Volusia County, Santa Rosa County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Philadelphia, City of Tampa, City of Madison, City of New Haven, City of South Fulton), school districts (Richmond County Board of Education, Cleveland Metropolitan School District, Clayton County Public Schools), and special-purpose transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Orange County Transportation Authority). Texas agencies dominate recent postings, with multiple TDCJ facilities and TxDOT districts issuing overlapping pest control IFBs for fiscal year 2027.

Texas shows concentrated recent activity, including a cluster of TDCJ pest control contracts at individual units (Bridgeport, Plane, Lindsey, Roach, Sanchez, Bradshaw, Wainwright, Kyle, Neal, Gist, Dalby, Coleman) and HHSC contracts at state-supported living centers (Brenham, San Angelo, Abilene). Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Arizona, Connecticut, Colorado, Maine, Pennsylvania, and California round out the geographic spread. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017576 for heat treatment bed bug eradication and as-needed pest control at Brenham State Supported Living Center (due August 3, 2026), Richmond County Board of Education's RFP#26-208 for comprehensive pest management across 55 school facilities totaling 5.6 million square feet in Georgia (due August 6, 2026), City of Phoenix Water Services' IFB-27-0400 for roach treatment across approximately 100,000 sanitary sewer manholes and 8,000 cleanouts (due July 30, 2026), and the City of New Haven's ITB 2026ITB375 for on-call pest and rodent control across 49 school facilities with local preference available (originally due July 9, 2026). Contracts typically run one to five years with optional renewals contingent on performance; pricing is structured as monthly rates, hourly labor, and per-square-foot or per-occurrence charges, with firm-fixed pricing required for the initial term. Most solicitations mandate current state pest control licensure, three to five years of relevant experience, multiple insurance policies ($1 million minimum general liability thresholds common), criminal background screening for personnel, and compliance with state pesticide applicator certifications and EPA regulations.
