Pest Control Services

The Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for comprehensive Pest Control Services applicable to state agencies and potentially local government entities. The solicitation seeks vendors capable of providing monthly pest control services across 15 defined regional zones in Kentucky, targeting the eradication and control of various pests including rats, mice, roaches, termites, and bed bugs. Vendors can bid on one or multiple regions, with an evaluation methodology that awards points based on regional coverage (120 points), years in business (10 points), and mandatory certification requirements. The procurement will utilize a best value ranking approach, with the initial contract period running from the award date through September 30, 2025, and potential for four additional two-year renewal periods. Key dates include vendor questions due by June 24, 2025, and bid closing on July 11, 2025, at 1:30 PM EST. Pricing will be quote-based, with individual agencies generating specific quotes against the resulting contract(s), and no price increases permitted during the first 12 months of the contract.

The solicitation requires vendors to maintain a $1,000,000 commercial general liability insurance policy and does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The Commonwealth reserves the right to award multiple contracts to ensure comprehensive statewide coverage, which suggests an open competitive bidding process. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement indicates a comprehensive approach to pest control services across state facilities. Vendors must demonstrate industry certifications and have established business experience to be considered. The multi-region bidding structure allows for flexibility, enabling vendors with regional expertise to compete for contracts in their areas of strength. The procurement approach suggests the Commonwealth is seeking to establish a robust, flexible pest control service network that can respond to diverse needs across Kentucky's state agencies and potentially local government entities.
