Pest Control Services

The North Dakota State Hospital, operating under the state's Office of Management and Budget, is seeking a pest control services contractor for its campus through an Invitation for Bid (IFB). The procurement aims to secure comprehensive pest management services for the hospital's buildings, campus grounds, and underground tunnels, excluding the James River Correctional Center and hospital cemetery. Services will include bi-weekly pest control, which involves regular trap checks, insecticide treatments, seasonal pest prevention, and emergency outbreak response. The contract term is set for two years, from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, with potential extensions for two additional 24-month periods. Bidders must hold current commercial pesticide applicator licenses, comply with North Dakota pesticide regulations, provide material safety data sheets, and submit qualified personnel documentation. The evaluation will be based on a point system, with 80 points allocated to 52 bi-weekly pest control services and 20 points for hourly special pest control services. A mandatory on-site walk-through is scheduled for May 22, 2025, at 10am CT, and bid responses are due by June 6, 2025, at 12pm CT, with the contract to be awarded to the bidder receiving the highest total points based on cost.

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement appears to be open to qualified commercial pest control contractors who can meet the specified licensing and regulatory requirements. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract requires the successful bidder to service all designated areas during standard business hours from 7:00am to 3:30pm CT, Monday through Friday, with the primary objective of maintaining a clean, safe, and healthy environment for patients, staff, and visitors. The bid includes two primary line items: bi-weekly pest control services and hourly special pest control services, with pricing to remain firm-fixed throughout the contract term. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the services and the two-year contract duration suggest a significant investment in maintaining the facility's pest management needs. The contract will be awarded based on a combination of service capabilities and cost-effectiveness, prioritizing a contractor's ability to provide thorough and reliable pest control services.
