Pest Control For Veterans Home

The North Dakota Veterans Home is seeking a comprehensive pest control services contract through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for its facility located in Lisbon, ND. The procurement covers monthly, quarterly, and seasonal pest management services for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with potential for up to four 12-month renewals. Specific service requirements include interior and exterior pest control, monthly inspections, mice traps, bait stations, flying insect light traps, and emergency callback services. Bidders must hold current commercial pesticide applicators licenses, use EPA-approved materials, and provide detailed documentation in a service log book. A mandatory site inspection tour is scheduled for June 10, 2025, at 11:00 AM CT, and electronic bid responses must be submitted through the State Procurement Online system by June 17, 2025, at 9:00 AM CT. The state will evaluate bids based on responsiveness, lowest bid price, and vendor qualifications, with a preference given to North Dakota-based vendors in case of a tie.

The contract does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must meet substantial insurance requirements, including commercial general liability coverage of $2,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $500,000 per person, and workers' compensation and employer's liability coverage. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the successful contractor must demonstrate capability to integrate with existing facility infrastructure and pest management systems. Pricing will be firm for the first contract year, with potential price adjustments upon renewal subject to state approval. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the pest control services suggests a moderate-value contract that will require a qualified, experienced pest management provider capable of meeting the North Dakota Veterans Home's specific operational needs.
