Pest Control Services at Walking Box Ranch

The Bureau of Land Management Nevada State Office is seeking a Nevada-licensed contractor to provide comprehensive pest control services at Walking Box Ranch near Searchlight, Nevada, targeting insects, rodents, spiders, snakes, and scorpions that pose public health and safety hazards. The contractor must conduct an initial facility survey, develop a BLM-approved pest control plan, and provide ongoing pest management services for two facilities totaling 6,390 square feet (a 1,790 sq ft Bunk House and a 4,600 sq ft Ranch House). Key requirements include using only BLM-approved insecticides such as Onslaught and Talstar P, complying with OSHA and Nevada Administrative Code regulations, and coordinating all work with the BLM Contracting Officer's Representative during business hours (8:00 am to 5:00 pm). The evaluation will prioritize Technical and Past Performance criteria over Price Information, with all proposals due by 11:00 AM PT on August 15, 2025. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 7, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM PT, and all questions must be submitted in writing by 9:00 AM PT on August 11, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 561710 (Exterminating and Pest Control Services) with a size standard of $17.5 million. The contract structure includes a base year from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, with four potential one-year option periods extending through August 31, 2030, for a total possible contract duration of five years. While no specific contract values are disclosed in the bid schedule, the solicitation indicates that new bait traps will be required as existing traps will be removed by BLM, and the contractor must maintain proper pest management insurance coverage. The Q&A document confirms this represents no significant changes from the previous contract's Statement of Work, suggesting this is a recompete of existing services. Performance will occur at the Walking Box Ranch facilities in the remote desert location near Searchlight, Nevada, under the management of the Southern Nevada BLM District Office.
