UNSPSC 72102105: Animal trapping

UNSPSC 72102105 Animal trapping is a Commodity code describing pest control and wildlife management services that state and local governments procure across facilities ranging from schools and correctional institutions to airports, transit systems, and county buildings. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing comprehensive integrated pest management including rodent control, insect treatment (roaches, ants, bed bugs, termites, stinging insects), wildlife removal, and emergency response services. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Human Services, Maine Department of Transportation), county governments (Jefferson County, Solano County, Volusia County, Gwinnett County, Cobb County, Clayton County, Santa Rosa County), cities (Philadelphia, Tampa, New Haven, Tempe, South Fulton), school districts (Richmond County Board of Education, Cleveland Metropolitan School District, New Haven Public Schools), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Orange County Transportation Authority), and specialized districts (Boulder County Housing Authority). Texas agencies—particularly TDCJ and the Health and Human Services Commission—appear as repeat solicitors, issuing multiple facility-specific RFPs and IFBs for fiscal year 2027 pest control contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (TDCJ facilities statewide, HHSC state supported living centers, TxDOT district offices), Florida (Santa Rosa County, Volusia County, Polk County, Tampa, Philadelphia International Airport operations), Georgia (Richmond County schools, South Fulton, Cobb County, Gwinnett County, Clayton County, DeKalb County), Illinois (Department of Mental Health, Department of Corrections, Department of Human Services), and scattered activity in Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and California.
