RFP 735-2025-4413 IDIQ Integrated Pest Management Services

Midwestern State University (MSU) in Wichita Falls, Texas, has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) 735-2025-4413 for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program. The solicitation seeks a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive pest control services for all campus buildings, including the main campus, South Campus, three university-owned houses on Hampstead, and the Fantasy of Lights building. The initial contract term is from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with options for three additional one-year renewals. Contractors must be certified as Commercial Pesticide Applicators and develop a detailed Pest Control Plan covering materials, monitoring methods, service schedules, and structural modifications. The university prioritizes non-pesticide control methods and minimizes chemical use. The proposal evaluation will use a best value standard, with 70% weight on overall costs and 30% on compliance, past performance, and references. Key response dates include a submission deadline of August 8, 2025, at 2:00 pm CT, with electronic submissions preferred to Joseph Mrugalski.

The RFP encourages participation from Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) through the state of Texas's procurement guidelines. Vendors are expected to utilize the Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) and familiarize themselves with NIGP Commodity/Services Code classifications. Pricing will include a base monthly cost covering all buildings and grounds within 20 feet of structures, with additional pricing for specific services like termite inspections, fire ant control, and tree/shrub treatments. Respondents must complete various compliance certifications, including conflict of interest disclosures and verifications related to state purchasing regulations. The contract includes standard provisions for contractor insurance, indemnification, and performance standards, with the university reserving the right to inspect and determine the quality and acceptability of services. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the IDIQ contract structure allows for flexible procurement of pest management services on an as-needed basis, with invoices to be paid net thirty (30) days and requiring a valid purchase order.
