UNSPSC 72102104: Structural pest control

UNSPSC 72102104 Structural pest control is a Commodity code capturing heat-treatment bed bug eradication, monthly preventive maintenance across school and municipal facilities, integrated pest management at state-supported living centers and correctional facilities, and emergency wildlife removal and bird control services. State and local governments are actively procuring under this code through school districts, county purchasing offices, state health and human services departments, departments of corrections, transit authorities, and municipal general services departments. Recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's heat-treatment bed bug eradication bid at Brenham State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017576, due August 3, 2026), Richmond County Board of Education's comprehensive pest control services across 55 school facilities (RFP#26-208, due August 6, 2026), and New Haven Public Schools' on-call pest and rodent control for 49 facilities (ITB 2026ITB375, due July 9, 2026). The issuing bodies reflect broad state and local participation: Texas state agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, TxDOT) issued the highest volume of recent opportunities, with solicitations also from school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Ohio, and Florida; county governments in Florida, Georgia, and Arizona; and municipal procurement offices in Connecticut, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity across California, Connecticut, Illinois, and multiple other states. Texas state agencies alone issued more than a dozen pest control solicitations for fiscal year 2027 at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and transportation district facilities between late June and early July 2026. Recent opportunities span exterior pest control maintenance (County of Solano, estimated $180,000 three-year contract with two renewal options), structural termite treatment (Jefferson County, Texas; City of Tampa termite eradication by fumigation), monthly integrated pest management at multi-building campuses (California Department of Fish and Wildlife's three-year North Central Region 2 contract; Illinois Department of Mental Health Elgin Mental Health Center; Boulder County Housing Authority short-list procurement across 61 buildings), and emergency response services with two-hour callback windows (Philadelphia International Airport). Contractors must commonly hold state pest control licenses, maintain workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance ranging from $1 million to $2 million per occurrence, pass background checks, and demonstrate three to five years of relevant experience with verifiable references.
