FAC117 FY26-FY28 Integrated Pest Management Services Pocasset MHC

The Massachusetts Department of Mental Health's Southeast Area is soliciting competitive proposals for a three-year Integrated Pest Management (IPM) services contract for the Pocasset Mental Health Center, located at 830 County Road in Pocasset, MA. The procurement covers fiscal years 2026-2028, with a bid opening scheduled for July 10, 2025, at 2 PM. The comprehensive IPM services include monthly inspections and treatments for various pests such as rats, mice, cockroaches, termites, and other vertebrates and arthropods, targeting exterior perimeters, entry points, kitchens, mechanical rooms, and storage areas. Contractors must be licensed and insured, capable of providing emergency response within 24 hours, and emphasize non-chemical pest management techniques. Key deliverables include detailed service reports after each visit, annual trend reports, and proactive recommendations for pest prevention. Required qualifications include expertise in integrated pest management, ability to maintain facility confidentiality, and potential capacity to train onsite staff on pest prevention strategies. The bid process encompasses two service categories: routine integrated pest management and single-use services for specific pest control needs.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the contract requires contractors to be fully licensed professionals with comprehensive insurance coverage. The procurement is specific to Barnstable County and targets the Pocasset Mental Health Center, suggesting a localized service requirement. Although precise budget ranges are not specified, the bid form provides a structure for vendors to quote monthly service prices, with spaces to calculate annual totals for each of the three contract years. The contract includes provisions for tracking and implementing pest management recommendations through systems like CAMIS PM, indicating potential technological integration requirements. Contractors will be expected to work collaboratively with facility management, custodial services, food service, waste management, and security personnel. The memorandum of understanding further emphasizes a systematic approach to reducing pesticide usage and implementing preventative pest management strategies, with potential for escalation of unresolved maintenance issues to higher administrative levels.
