The solicitation requires bidders to possess a Commercial Applicators License and Pesticide Applicator Licenses for service technicians, with services targeting a range of pests including rats, mice, bedbugs, cockroaches, and other specified insects. Treatments must provide effectiveness for at least 30 days after each application, covering multiple facility areas such as the highway gate, duplex, state housing, pickets, and warden's house. A non-mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 25, 2025, starting at the Skyview Unit and continuing to the Hodge Unit, with bids due by 3:00 PM CT on August 5, 2025. The contract has a base period of one year with options to renew for four additional one-year terms through August 31, 2030, and the Department reserves the right to adjust the purchase order if the service area's square footage changes. Pricing must remain firm throughout the contract year, and the solicitation emphasizes comprehensive coverage of pest control services across the specified facilities.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the contract involves pest control services across multiple correctional facilities with a total combined square footage of 37,007,446. The TDCJ has established standard terms and conditions that govern the procurement, including requirements for Texas Identification Numbers, E-Verify system usage, anti-boycott certifications, and interested party disclosures. Contract award will be determined based on factors including pricing, vendor performance history, quality of services, and overall best value to the state. Critically, the contract terms stipulate that funding is contingent on legislative appropriations, and TDCJ reserves the right to terminate the contract if sufficient funds are not available. Vendors must submit their contact information to ensure receipt of potential solicitation amendments, which will be posted on the Electronic State Business Daily.
