Pest Control Serv.

Maryland Department of General Services is soliciting bids for pest control services at the Silver Spring DC/MSC facility located at 8552 Second Ave, Silver Spring, Montgomery County, with proposals due June 11, 2026 and a three-year contract term beginning December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2029.

The scope encompasses comprehensive pest control services—labor, technical expertise, chemicals (wet and/or dry), transportation, and equipment for extermination of all interior and exterior pests including those that walk, crawl, or fly. The contract excludes termites but requires a firm price per linear foot for termite services if needed during the term. Monthly inspection and treatment are mandatory. Service personnel must log in and out at facility security, and all work must occur outside normal business hours (7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) to allow complete elimination of chemical residue by the next working day. The contractor must comply with all federal, state, and local ordinances and provide a certified applicator as required by Maryland regulations. Contractors must submit a list of all pesticides to be used prior to contract start.

Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of successful pest control experience, with the most recent year immediately prior to bid submission. Four comparable references from institutions or concerns of equal or greater size are required, along with the name and telephone number of a contractor representative available for consultation. Award goes to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest base bid, which shall include total cost for three years for all labor, equipment, supplies, permits, fees, and transportation. The contractor forfeits the monthly invoice amount for any month in which scheduled service is not provided. Invoices are due by the 15th of the following month for services rendered. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is the mandated payment method. Bidders must complete a Bid Proposal Affidavit, Contract Affidavit, and conflict of interest disclosure as part of the submission.
