The procurement encompasses pest control, extermination, prevention, surveillance, capturing, and removal services targeting various pests including insects, rodents, canines, birds, and wildlife across over 4 million square feet of facilities. The contract will service 73 academic and administrative buildings, 19 residence halls, and 37 hospitality service locations with varying service frequencies ranging from monthly (Chancellor's residence) to quarterly (most academic buildings) to annual (residence halls). Proposals must be submitted through TechBid by February 28, 2025, at 1:00 PM Central, with an anticipated contract term of four years and four optional one-year renewal periods.

TTU has established a 26% Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) goal for this services contract, requiring proposers to submit a HUB Subcontracting Plan and demonstrate commitment to utilizing disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers compensation, employer's liability ($1,000,000), commercial general liability ($2,000,000 aggregate), and automobile liability ($1,000,000).
