IW219474 - Ney Unit

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) Number IW219474 for monthly pest control services at the Ney Unit located in Hondo, Texas. The procurement seeks a vendor with a Commercial Applicators License to provide comprehensive pest management services for interior areas, including monthly treatments and four emergency service calls over a 12-month contract period. Specific pest eradication requirements include addressing populations of rats, mice, bedbugs, cockroaches, fleas, and other specified insects both inside and immediately outside the correctional facility. Vendors must provide a Licensed Pesticide Applicator and service technicians who can comply with TDCJ's strict security protocols. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM CT, with potential bidders required to register by 10:00 AM on July 10, 2025. The bid response deadline is set for July 23, 2025, at 3:00 PM CT, with the contract service commencement date of September 1, 2025. The initial contract term is one year, with potential renewals available for four additional one-year periods through August 31, 2030.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents, vendors must meet several critical qualifications, including holding a valid Commercial Applicators License. The contract will require vendors to submit detailed monthly reports and adhere to comprehensive pest management standards. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the available documentation. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range or award value, instead focusing on unit pricing for monthly interior pest control services. Vendors will be expected to maintain firm pricing throughout the contract year and provide comprehensive pest control services tailored to the unique environment of a correctional facility. The procurement appears to be part of a broader pest management strategy for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's correctional infrastructure, with the Ney Unit representing one specific location within their system.
