Supply of Pest Control Chemicals and Pesticides

The contract involves the supply of EPA-approved, low-toxicity pesticides and pest control chemicals specifically designed for use in occupied correctional facilities under the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These substances must meet strict safety standards to ensure they are effective against pests while posing minimal risk to inmates, staff, and the overall environment within prison settings. The materials must be suitable for application in close-quarters, high-occupancy areas where human exposure is unavoidable, requiring products that balance efficacy with reduced health hazards. Subcontractors are required to respond by the deadline of July 9, 2026, with all submissions governed under the NAICS code 325320, which pertains to pesticide and other agricultural chemical manufacturing. The contract does not specify a set-aside classification, and performance is expected to serve facilities throughout Texas without a designated city or zip code for delivery. Potential vendors must align with state and federal regulations for chemical use in corrections, and all offerings should include documentation proving EPA approval and compliance with low-toxicity requirements. The opportunity is posted through the Texas SmartBuy portal, indicating a state procurement process focused on cost-effectiveness and safety-driven procurement practices.
