Pest Control Bradshaw Unit

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids to establish a purchase order for pest control services at Bradshaw Unit, with bids due June 29, 2026. Bidders must hold valid pesticide applicator licenses issued by the appropriate Texas regulatory authority and maintain compliance with all state pesticide laws and regulations throughout the contract term.

A Texas bidder preference applies under 34 TAC Rule 20.306, including a set-aside for goods and services offered by Texas bidders owned by Texas resident service-disabled veterans.

Contractors must obtain and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance, automobile liability insurance, and workers' compensation insurance before commencing work and for the duration of the contract, including any renewal or extension periods. All insurance policies must name TDCJ as an additional insured with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the state. Insurance carriers must be authorized to do business in Texas and maintain an A.M. Best rating of A- or better. Certificates of insurance must be provided prior to commencement of services, with updated certificates submitted upon renewal or policy modification.

The solicitation references standard TDCJ terms and conditions governing procurement procedures, contract administration, payment terms, indemnification, liability limitations, and vendor compliance obligations. An amendment to the original purchase order establishes the framework for pest control service delivery, including scope of work, service requirements, and operational standards the contractor must maintain. Invoicing directs payments to the TDCJ Accounts Payable office in Huntsville, Texas, with cash discount options available within specified day parameters.
