UNSPSC 72102102: Termite control services

UNSPSC 72102102 Termite control services is a Commodity code covering integrated pest management, rodent control, and targeted pest elimination services that state and local governments procure across administrative buildings, educational facilities, correctional institutions, water treatment plants, and specialized venues. Recent solicitations span interior and exterior treatments for cockroaches, ants, spiders, rodents, termites, bed bugs, mosquitoes, and stinging insects, with scope ranging from routine monthly maintenance to emergency response and facility-specific protocols. Issuing bodies include port authorities, county government, independent school districts, state departments of corrections and human services, transit authorities, and city procurement offices. The Canaveral Port Authority in Florida solicited integrated pest management covering 850,000 square feet across cruise terminals and administrative facilities under RFP2615 with a response deadline of October 6, 2026 (posted October 19). Palm Beach County requested spider control services under RFQ 26-0216-RR with responses due October 13, 2026, subject to Small Business Enterprise goals. Forsyth County, Georgia issued an ITQ for pest control and mosquito mitigation services with responses due October 29, 2026. Magnolia Independent School District in Texas requested electronic proposals for pest control services across all district locations under RFP100126 with responses due October 30, 2026.

Geographic concentration reflects substantial activity across Florida (Canaveral Port Authority, Palm Beach County, multiple municipalities, school districts), Georgia (Forsyth County, DeKalb County, Rockdale County, University of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois pest control contracts at multiple Springfield facilities), and Texas (TJJD facilities, TxDOT districts, school districts). The State of Illinois has issued numerous single-site procurements for Springfield-area facilities, many under Small Business Set Aside Program restrictions with mandatory pre-bid walkthroughs. Wake County, North Carolina solicited integrated pest management for 109 county facilities (approximately 5 million square feet) under RFP 26-087 with proposals due October 29, 2026 and mandatory bidders' meeting October 1. Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has multiple active procurements for pest control across district maintenance facilities. Recent opportunities reflect pricing typically based on per-facility monthly rates, per-square-foot treatment units, or fixed monthly service fees with separate emergency response and specialty service line items. Contract terms commonly span one to five years with optional renewal periods. Qualification requirements consistently include state pest control licensing, minimum years of commercial experience (typically three to five years), current insurance (general liability $1 million–$3 million, workers' compensation), and in institutional settings, criminal background checks and security clearances. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) emphasis—prioritizing non-pesticide methods such as monitoring, trapping, and exclusion before chemical application—appears in Florida municipal and North Carolina county procurements. Set-asides and preferences include Small Business Enterprise goals (Palm Beach County), local vendor preference (multiple Florida municipalities at 2–5 percent), and HUD Section 3 requirements (Los Angeles County Development Authority RFP). No significant recent opportunities appear to be uniquely concentrated in any single jurisdiction; activity is distributed across municipal, county, state, and special-purpose district buyers across the Southeast, Midwest, and Southwest.
