Pest Control Services

The Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) has issued Request for Proposals (RFP) #6079 for comprehensive pest control services targeting bed bug infestations across its properties. The procurement seeks a qualified professional firm to provide a range of services including preventative monitoring, unit inspections, bed bug treatment for identified units and adjacent spaces, low preparation treatment methods, and support for unit cleaning. The RFP requires vendors to demonstrate service delivery capabilities, treatment efficacy, communication skills, and competitive pricing through a detailed proposal. The evaluation will utilize a 111-point scoring system across twelve distinct criteria, with proposals due on Monday, July 21, 2025, at 4:00 pm. Prospective vendors may submit questions until Monday, July 7, 2025, with the initial contract term set for one year and potential extensions up to four additional one-year periods, not exceeding a total of five years. The contract will cover pest control services specifically focused on addressing bed bug infestations in SHA properties.

SHA strongly emphasizes diversity and inclusion, with explicit encouragement for proposals from minority-owned, women-owned, socially and economically disadvantaged, HUD Section 3, small, and veteran-owned businesses. The agency has established a 14% aspirational Women and Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE) goal, requiring proposers to provide meaningful participation opportunities for WMBE firms. The majority of funding for this procurement derives from federal sources through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), supplemented by rent revenue and public and private grants. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed, the RFP suggests that vendors should prepare comprehensive proposals that demonstrate cost-effectiveness and high-quality service delivery. The procurement process is designed to be inclusive, with particular emphasis on supporting diverse business enterprises and ensuring robust, effective pest control services for SHA's housing properties.
