This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for integrated pest management (IPM) services for the U.S. Coast Guard's Ninth District facilities. The contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, and supervision necessary to deliver comprehensive pest control services, including suppression of insects, arachnids, rodents and other pests within building interiors and exterior grounds of Air Station facilities, construction sites, and renovation areas.
The period of performance includes a base year from January 15, 2025 through December 31, 2025, with two one-year options through December 31, 2027. Key requirements include initial facility inspections, development of pest management plans, continuous monitoring and inspection programs, trapping devices maintenance, interior/exterior pest control, monthly reporting, and strict compliance with environmental and safety regulations. The contractor must obtain all necessary federal, state and local permits, possess current Commercial Pesticide Licenses, and ensure all personnel applying pesticides have Commercial Applicator's Licenses. Bio-based products are preferred, and the contractor must submit Material Safety Data Sheets for all chemical products 15 days prior to use.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this PWS is to obtain an efficient and effective Integrated Pest Management
(IPM) Program at as many units within U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) District Nine as possible.
The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and services necessary to provide IPM Services as defined within this PWS. The
Contractor shall be responsible for the management of the total facilities identified in this
PWS. This is to include the suppression of all insects, arachnids, rodent populations and any other pest not specifically excluded from this solicitation and subsequent contract. Pest populations located within building interiors and the exterior grounds within the property boundaries of the identified Air Station Facilities, Construction Sites and Renovation areas are included under this effort.
This effort also includes the sealing of minor cracks, crevices and holes that serve as known pest harborage, or permit pest ingress and egress. The Government will be responsible for any work related to the building components such as structural members, furnishings, etc.
affected including the removal of damaged material and any associated repairs.
The services to be performed will rely heavily on knowledgeable, experienced, individuals capable of servicing the facilities in an orderly, clean, and environmentally healthy manner.
The Contractor shall ensure that all services protect the integrity of the units, while protecting human health and the environment.
2. BACKGROUND
IPM is the preferred method for USCG pest management and disease vector control. IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests and controlling disease vectors by combining applicable pest management tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks. IPM uses regular or scheduled monitoring to determine if and when treatments are needed and employs physical, mechanical, cultural, biological, genetic, regulatory chemical and educational tactics to keep pest numbers/populations low enough to prevent unacceptable damage or impacts. Treatments are not made to a predetermined schedule; they are made only when and where monitoring has indicated that the pest will cause unacceptable economic, medical, or aesthetic damage. Treatments are chosen and timed to be most effective and least disruptive to natural controls of pests. Least hazardous, but effective pesticides are used as a last resort. The costs for all treatments are included in the contract amount.
IPM in the USCG is based on seven (7) steps that are routine procedures for addressing each pest problem. These steps are:
a. Identification and assessment of pest or disease vector problems.
b. Development of a written management plan or strategy that emphasizes natural controls and non-chemical tactics to deal with pest and disease vector problems.
c. Establishment of an action threshold for each pest and disease vector problem to
11/13/2024 Page 2 of 13 define when corrective action must be implemented.
d. Use of a monitoring procedure, such as inspection, trapping, or surveillance, for each pest and disease vector.
e. Application of corrective action when a threshold is reached for any pest or disease vector.
f. Use of a documentation system to catalogue monitoring information and to document management problems.
g. Verification and evaluation procedures to ensure that the IPM program is meeting stated risk reduction measures and that information exists to redesign the IPM plan where required.
The IPM services are generally accomplished through a proactive service performed as regular inspections and reactive services performed as a response to service requests.
3. CONTINUITY OF FACILITIES OPERATION
The Contractor is to perform all on-site work between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Mon- day through Friday (Federal Holidays excluded), unless otherwise approved by the
Contracting Officer or COR.
4. APPLICABLE PUBLICATIONS

Supplements or amendments to listed publications may be issued during the life of the contract. The Contractor shall immediately implement those changes, which result in a decrease, or no change in the contract price. The
Government will also pro- vide the forms listed which are needed for daily operations. Upon completion of the contract, the Contractor shall return to the Government all issued publications and unused forms.
