IW219431 Glossbrenner

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) IW219431 for pest control services at the Glossbrenner Unit, located in San Diego, TX. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive monthly pest control services for both interior and exterior facility areas, including monthly treatments inside the facility, emergency service calls, and bi-annual exterior pest control for the storage building. Vendors must provide a Licensed Pesticide Applicator with a Commercial Applicators License and demonstrate capability to control various pest populations including rats, mice, bedbugs, cockroaches, and other specified insects. The non-mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 14, 2025, at 10:30 AM CT, with registration required by July 11, 2025, and bids due by July 24, 2025, at 3:00 PM CT. The initial contract term is one year, with options to renew for four additional one-year periods through August 31, 2030, and the service is set to commence on September 1, 2025. Vendors must comply with TDCJ policies, including personnel directives PD-22 and PD-29, and provide comprehensive treatment and reporting documentation.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documents, the procurement requires vendors to submit firm pricing for monthly interior pest control, emergency service calls, and bi-annual exterior pest control. Vendors must meet minimum qualifications, including comprehensive insurance requirements and the ability to provide necessary equipment and personnel. The TDCJ reserves the right to amend the purchase order if the service area's square footage changes, and pricing must remain constant throughout the contract year. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on vendor qualifications, service capabilities, compliance with specifications, and overall best value to the state. The procurement is part of a broader facilities management effort, as evidenced by the attached unit square footage document showing 37,007,446 total square feet across multiple facilities. Potential bidders should carefully review the standard terms and conditions document, which outlines additional compliance requirements, payment terms, and state-mandated certifications.
