Pest Control Services for DOC's Missouri Eastern Correctional Center

The Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB931Y21708100) for comprehensive pest control services at the Missouri Eastern Correctional Center (MECC) located in Pacific, Franklin County. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide three distinct levels of pest control services: bi-monthly treatments (24 times per year), quarterly treatments (4 times per year during the first 10 workdays of January, April, July, and October), and as-needed services (estimated 12 treatments per year). Bidders must respond to the solicitation between January 14, 2021, and February 11, 2021, with responses due by 2:00 PM CST on the final day. Non-mandatory site tours are available by appointment with the MECC Fire and Safety Specialist, requiring at least four days' advance notice. The initial contract term is one year, with provisions for two additional one-year renewal periods. Vendors must complete and submit Exhibits A through F, including a detailed pricing page, and demonstrate the capability to respond to as-needed pest control requests within three days of notification. The contract will be awarded on a competitive basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with services to be performed at the facility located at 18701 US Highway 66, Pacific, MO 63069.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder eligibility, indicating that the procurement is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no mentioned requirements for integration with existing infrastructure or technology. Bids may be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or as sealed hard copies delivered to the DOC Purchasing Section in Jefferson City. Payment terms are established at Net 45 days, with invoices to be submitted to the DOC's Fiscal Management Unit. While the total estimated contract value is not explicitly stated, the contract includes provisions for vendors to specify maximum percentage increases or minimum decreases for the two potential renewal periods, calculated against the original contract price. Pricing is to be submitted as firm, fixed unit prices per service, with the expectation that the vendor can effectively manage pest control across the correctional facility's various areas and maintain a consistent, responsive service approach.
