UNSPSC 72102104: Structural pest control

UNSPSC 72102104 Structural pest control (Commodity) encompasses interior and exterior treatment services for commensal rodents, insects, arachnids, and other arthropods across public facilities, with state and local buyers soliciting Integrated Pest Management (IPM), routine preventive services, emergency response, and specialized treatments such as fire ant control and bird deterrent applications. Recent opportunities show monthly recurring service contracts as the dominant procurement pattern, with responses due across September through November 2026 at agencies ranging from state correctional facilities and transportation departments to county and municipal governments, school districts, housing authorities, and special-purpose districts.

State and local issuing bodies are diverse and geographically widespread. State agencies—Illinois (multiple facilities through Central Management Services), Texas (TJJD, TxDOT, HHSC), Minnesota (statewide cooperative purchasing), Georgia (Board of Regents), and California (CDFW)—dominate by volume, with multiple concurrent solicitations in Illinois alone covering individual facilities and statewide contracts. County governments are active buyers (Forsyth County Georgia; Sangamon County Illinois; Rockdale County Georgia; DeKalb County Georgia; Sacramento County California; Wake County North Carolina; Flagler County Florida; Palm Beach County Florida). Cities and municipalities solicit frequently (Winter Park, St. Cloud, Leesburg, Ocala, Lubbock, Phoenix, Dallas, Orlando, and Tybee Island in Florida; Springfield and other Illinois municipalities). School districts and special-purpose districts (Magnolia ISD Texas; Harlingen CISD Texas; Sarasota County Schools Florida; Valencia College Florida) and public housing and transit authorities (Canaveral Port Authority Florida; New Britain Housing Authority Connecticut; Oregon Youth Authority) are established repeat buyers. The Canaveral Port Authority (Florida), State of Minnesota, and Wake County (North Carolina) appear among the largest and most complex recent procurements. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida (winter pest season drives year-round demand across multiple county and municipal jurisdictions), Illinois (state-level statewide and facility-specific contracts), Texas (state agencies and highway district operations), and Georgia (state university system and county governments). Opportunities are active in most U.S. regions with secondary concentrations in California, North Carolina, Arizona, Connecticut, and Oregon.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope diversity. The Canaveral Port Authority (Florida) issued RFP2615 for integrated pest management, rodent management, and bird deterrent services across 850,000 square feet of port and marine facilities, with proposals due October 6, 2026 and evaluation weighted toward pricing (35%), experience with commercial/marine facilities (25%), IPM program approach (25%), and bird management methodology (15%). The State of Minnesota reissued statewide solicitation 37716 (RFP due October 20, 2026) for pest control across two service zones and 87 counties serving all state agencies and cooperative purchasing members, covering insects, rodents, and arthropods with addendum posted October 7, 2026 reflecting material specification changes. Palm Beach County issued RFQ 26-0216-RR for spider control services (term contract) due October 13, 2026, with Small Business Enterprise set-asides. Forsyth County Georgia (ITQ, due October 29, 2026) and Magnolia ISD Texas (RFP due October 30, 2026) sought pest control across county buildings and all district locations respectively. The State of Illinois issued multiple IPM contracts under small business set-aside restrictions at individual Springfield facilities (site J0100, RFP2615, bids due October 6, 2026; site J0110 Sangamon County, bids due September 23, 2026; site G0911, bids due September 16, 2026; site D6009, D7256, J0120 Springfield, bids due September 23 and September 22, 2026), each requiring mandatory pre-bid walkthroughs and emphasizing non-pesticide IPM methods. The Texas Juvenile Justice Department issued IFB 644-26-072126 for monthly exterminator services at Gainesville SCJCF (bids due October 23, 2026; non-mandatory site visit October 14, 2026) covering interior and exterior treatment of all campus buildings with comprehensive insurance and security background check requirements. Rockdale County Georgia (ITB 26-10) solicited fire ant inspection and treatment under a best-value trade-off model with local vendor preference (due November 5, 2026; mandatory pre-bid conference October 21, 2026). The City of Phoenix Water Services (IFB-27-0400, bids due July 30, 2026—note: past due) contracted roach treatment for approximately 100,000 sanitary sewer manholes and 8,000 cleanouts using specified insecticide product with five-year firm pricing. Wake County North Carolina (RFP 26-087, proposals due October 29, 2026; mandatory bidders' meeting October 1, 2026) procured IPM services across 109 county facilities totaling approximately 5 million cleanable square feet spanning three geographic districts, with a 10-year minimum IPM experience requirement and staff entomologist certification. Service contracting commonly extends two to five years with optional renewal periods, fixed unit pricing for base services, and time-and-materials billing for emergency or specialty requests. Set-asides and preferences appear frequently: small business set-asides in Illinois; SBE preferences in Florida and Minnesota; local vendor preferences in Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina; and Davis-Bacon or prevailing wage compliance in federally funded procurements (FTA, HUD, FEMA). Bid bonds, performance bonds, liability insurance (typically $1 million general commercial liability minimum), workers' compensation, and criminal background checks for personnel with facility access are standard requirements. Evaluation criteria typically weight pricing (30–50%), experience and qualifications (20–35%), service approach and IPM methodology (15–25%), and equipment and insurance compliance (10–20%).
