UNSPSC 85111700: Disease vectors management and control

In this classification, this class indicates the healthcare services with the depth and breadth to prevent and control disease vectors

UNSPSC 85111700 Disease vectors management and control is a Class code under which state and local governments procure mosquito control services, including surveillance, larval and adult mosquito treatment, and associated monitoring and reporting. The City of Arlington, Texas's October 2026 RFP for an annual requirements contract for mosquito control services exemplifies the scope: qualified pesticide applicator firms must demonstrate experience with surveillance, trap catch, complaint-based larviciding, targeted adulticide application, and record keeping aligned with guidelines from the American Mosquito Control Association, CDC, EPA, and state health and agriculture departments. Cities represent the primary issuing bodies under this code, though county and special-purpose public health districts also solicit these services. The work is operational and recurring, typically structured as annual or multi-year requirements contracts that establish vendor pools or single-award arrangements with specific scope and performance expectations.

Geographic activity under the code shows recent procurement concentrated in Texas, where Arlington's current solicitation with an October 22, 2026 response deadline represents the most visible state and local opportunity. The source does not identify comparable recent opportunities in other states or regions, limiting characterization of geographic spread beyond Texas. Proposers must be licensed pesticide applicators and should track Arlington's Bonfire portal for addenda and final specifications, as the city explicitly disavows responsibility for notifications distributed outside that channel. Response deadlines and competitive intensity vary by jurisdiction; serial or standing contracts at the municipal level often run annual or multi-year terms with periodic rebidding.
