UNSPSC 85111613: Tropical disease prevention or control services

In this classification, this commodity indicates the activities required for the prevention and control of tropical diseases

UNSPSC 85111613 Tropical disease prevention or control services is a Commodity code that covers mosquito control and vector-borne disease surveillance work—specifically mosquito surveillance, larval and adult control operations, trap monitoring, complaint-based response, and compliance reporting under public health oversight. State and local governments solicit this work through RFPs and RFQs targeting licensed pesticide applicators and specialized mosquito control contractors. Cities and counties issue the contracts directly; work scope typically aligns with guidance from the American Mosquito Control Association, CDC, EPA, and state health agencies. Vendors must hold the appropriate pesticide applicator certifications and demonstrate experience with integrated vector management protocols.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas. The City of Arlington posted a requirements contract for annual mosquito control services (RFP 270015, due October 22, 2026) seeking proposals for surveillance, larviciding, adulticide application, and record-keeping; the City uses Bonfire exclusively for submission and disclaims responsibility for proposals received through other channels. The source shows one recent opportunity directly aligned with the code's scope; the Santa Clara County staffing and Bernalillo County opioid-settlement solicitations do not map to tropical disease prevention or vector control and appear to be data-entry misclassifications against this code. Current activity under UNSPSC 85111613 remains limited in the recent-opportunities record to municipal pest-control contracting in the Southwest.
