The procurement seeks a licensed pesticide applicator to perform monthly interior and exterior pest control treatments, targeting rats, mice, bedbugs, cockroaches, and other insects.

A non-mandatory site visit is scheduled for June 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM CT, with a registration deadline of June 12, 2025. Bids are due by 3:00 PM CT on June 26, 2025, with a planned service commencement date of September 1, 2025. The initial contract period is one year, with options to renew for four additional one-year terms, potentially extending the contract through August 31, 2030. Vendors must comply with TDCJ policies, provide necessary protective equipment, and follow specific treatment protocols, including monthly reporting and adherence to security procedures.

The solicitation emphasizes HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation, requiring vendors to submit a HUB Subcontracting Plan with their bid. While specific pricing details are not provided in the documents, the bid schedule indicates line items for monthly interior pest control and emergency service calls. The procurement is subject to standard TDCJ terms and conditions, which include compliance requirements such as E-Verify, non-discrimination policies, and certifications regarding interactions with specific countries. Vendors must provide federal employer identification numbers and meet state accessibility standards. The contract's funding is contingent on legislative appropriations, with TDCJ reserving the right to terminate if sufficient funds are not allocated. The total square footage of TDCJ facilities is extensive, spanning 37,007,446 square feet across multiple locations, which suggests the potential for future expanded services or similar contracts across the agency's infrastructure.
