UNSPSC 85111701: Ticks management or control services

In this classification, this commodity indicates the activities required for the management and control of tick infestations

UNSPSC 85111701 Ticks management or control services is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify pest control and vector management procurement, though recent activity under this code shows minimal alignment with tick-specific services. The single relevant opportunity on record is the City of Arlington, Texas RFP for an annual requirements contract for mosquito control services (Solicitation 270015, due October 22, 2026), which addresses mosquito surveillance, trap catch, complaint-based larviciding, targeted adulticide application, reporting, and record keeping — services that fall within broader vector management but do not address ticks as a primary target. The other two opportunities in the source (Santa Clara County Health System temporary health professional staffing and Bernalillo County opioid settlement capital grants) are unrelated to pest or vector control and appear to be tagged to this code in error. State and local issuing bodies that do procure vector control services typically require contractors to hold pesticide applicator certifications and demonstrate compliance with guidelines from the American Mosquito Control Association, CDC, EPA, and relevant state health and agriculture departments.

The code shows sparse recent activity and little demonstrated demand specifically for tick management or control services at the state and local level based on posted solicitations. The City of Arlington mosquito control RFP represents the only concrete state-local procurement signal in the recent record, with responses due October 22, 2026. Geographic reach is limited to Texas in the available data. Bidders pursuing vector control work at the state and local level should monitor Texas procurement channels and scan city and county health departments for integrated pest management solicitations, as tick control services may be bundled with broader mosquito and disease-vector programs rather than solicited as standalone commodity codes.
