About this file
This is Addendum No. 3 to a Request for Proposal issued by University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), a constituent institution of the University System of Maryland and State of Maryland agency, for pest management services. UMBC seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive pest control management services including inspection, treatment, control, and elimination of pests and vermin such as rodents, insects, and nuisance wildlife across academic, dining services, and residential facilities on designated campus areas. Routine services must be performed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week to maintain continuity of the University's existing Integrated Pest Management Program. The RFP offers two service options: Option 1 requires routine pest management three days per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), while Option 2 requires five days per week (Monday through Friday). The technical proposal submission deadline is August 25, 2026, by 2:00 PM EST. Price proposals will not be submitted with initial responses; instead, UMBC will establish a shortlist of qualified firms following evaluation, and only shortlisted firms will be invited to submit formal price proposals for the identified service options.
The current pest control provider is Orkin LLC, and UMBC spent $80,040 on pest management services in the last 12 months, including $11,536 for annual summer canine bed bug inspections. The University does not have a previous bid tabulation available from 2017. Campus pest management averages approximately 62 work orders monthly (30 from Facilities Management and 32 from Residential Life) for follow-up services beyond routine treatments, with technician on-site time averaging 15-18 hours per week or 60-80 hours per month. Current exterior rodent bait stations number 2-4 per property and are owned by the incumbent provider, requiring replacement by the new vendor. Services include small mammal trapping for groundhogs, raccoons, and squirrels, as well as bee and wasp nest treatment and removal, with most turf and garden pest management handled by the University's Ground Shop. True Grits Dining Hall is included in the solicitation scope. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of all three addenda (dated 07/27/2026, 07/29/2026, and 08/07/2026) and include the completed Acknowledgement of Receipt form with their technical proposals.
