UNSPSC 72102106: Rodent control

UNSPSC 72102106 Rodent control, a Commodity code, encompasses integrated pest management services and targeted rodent elimination across state and local facilities. State and local governments procure under this code a broad range of pest control work: routine monthly preventative maintenance including inspections and treatments for rodents, insects, bed bugs, and wildlife removal; emergency response services; and specialized treatments such as heat-treatment bed bug eradication, termite inspection and control, and fumigation. Recent solicitations reveal a heavy operational focus on routine facility maintenance pest control rather than one-off eradication projects, though both service models appear regularly. School districts, state human services and corrections facilities, county governments, cities, and special-purpose transit authorities are the primary buying bodies. The code draws solicitations from state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Mental Health, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Maine Department of Transportation), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Cobb County, Clayton County, Jefferson County, Solano County, Santa Rosa County), municipal procurement offices (New Haven, Philadelphia, Tampa, South Fulton), independent school districts (Richmond County Schools, Cleveland Metropolitan School District, New Haven Public Schools), and correctional and state-supported-living facilities managed by state departments. Texas jurisdictions—particularly the Texas Department of Criminal Justice with multiple facility-level solicitations and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission with state-supported-living-center contracts—represent the heaviest recent activity, followed by Georgia counties and California state agencies.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017576 for heat-treatment bed bug eradication services at Brenham State Supported Living Center (bids due August 3, 2026, covering thermal remediation, residual treatments, and follow-up inspections across 32 buildings with a firm fixed-price contract from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2030); Richmond County Board of Education's RFP#26-208 for pest control services across 55 school facilities totaling 5.6 million square feet (proposals due August 6, 2026, with evaluation weighted toward available employees and response time, proven experience, and references); and the City of New Haven's ITB 2026-2375 for on-call pest and rodent control services at 49 school facilities (bids due July 9, 2026, with local preference available and a one-year term plus two optional renewals). The Illinois Department of Mental Health, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, City of Phoenix Water Services, and multiple Texas Department of Transportation and correctional facilities have posted concurrent solicitations, signaling sustained demand across both routine monthly maintenance and specialized emergency-response contracting. Contract terms typically run one to three years with optional renewals, and most jurisdictions require current state pest control licensure, proof of insurance (commonly $1 million general liability minimum), and background screening of field personnel.
