Pest Control Services

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Finance and Administration Cabinet has issued a Request for Bid (RFB 758 2500000677) for comprehensive pest control services targeting state agencies and political subdivisions across Kentucky. The solicitation seeks vendors to provide eradication and control services for rats, mice, roaches, termites, bed bugs, and other insects across 15 defined geographic regions. Vendors can bid on one or more regions, with evaluation criteria including regional coverage (120 points), years in business (10 points), and mandatory certification (pass/fail). The initial contract period will run from the award date through September 30, 2025, with potential optional renewals for four additional two-year periods. Key deadlines include vendor questions due by June 24, 2025, and the solicitation closing on July 11, 2025, at 1:30 PM EST. Vendors must demonstrate ability to provide comprehensive pest management services, with pricing to be quote-based and determined through a best value ranking approach. Vendors will be required to maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate.

The procurement allows multiple contract awards per region to ensure comprehensive coverage, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. Price increases will not be permitted during the first 12 months of the contract, with subsequent increases requiring justification of industry-wide price changes. The Commonwealth intends to establish multiple master agreements, allowing state agencies to generate quotes against the resulting contract(s). While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests a broad scope of services across multiple regions of Kentucky. Vendors will be evaluated on their ability to cover multiple counties, with one point awarded per county bid, and must demonstrate operational history and mandatory certification. The contract structure allows flexibility for vendors to participate in one or multiple regions, potentially maximizing opportunities for pest control service providers across the state.
