About this file
This document contains Requests for Clarification issued by the Arizona Department of Economic Security (ADES) to two offerors—Burns Pest Elimination and DSR Pest Management—regarding RFP BPM006864 for Pest Control Services. The clarification requests identify incomplete submissions from both contractors. Burns Pest Elimination failed to fully complete Attachment 7, the Participation in Boycott of Israel certification form, and must indicate whether it intended to complete and submit this required documentation by May 23, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. local Arizona time through the Arizona Procurement Portal (APP). DSR Pest Management similarly submitted an incomplete Attachment 1, Offer and Acceptance Form, and must clarify its intent to complete this submission by the same deadline and method.
The clarification process requires both offerors to address Arizona Revised Statutes Section 35-393 et seq., which mandates that all contractors certify they do not participate in and will not participate in boycotts of Israel during the contract term. Contractors with estimated contract values under $100,000, sole proprietorships, entities with fewer than ten employees, or non-profit organizations are eligible to select an "Exempt Solicitation, Contract, or Contractor" option. Both requests explicitly state that these clarifications do not constitute a Request for Best and Final Offer (BAFO) and that all submitted responses will become public records. The incomplete submissions must be corrected and resubmitted through the state's eProcurement system to remain eligible for consideration in this competitive procurement.
