IFB for Integrated Pest Management Services

The Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) awarded integrated pest‑management (IPM) services for 28 state‑owned facilities, divided into nine building groups. The work is performed under a firm‑fixed‑price, one‑year contract with the possibility of up to four additional one‑year renewals. Two vendors received awards: Reed Exterminating Company (Groups 1, 2, 5, 7, 8) and Interpest, Inc. (Groups 3, 4, 6, 9). The scope includes preventive insect and rodent control, routine inspections, EPA‑compliant pesticide application, emergency response within 24 hours, monthly reporting, and provision of a professional entomologist at no extra charge. Bidders were required to hold a Mississippi General Pest and Rodent Control license, maintain specified insurance limits, and submit extensive documentation (nine bid forms, references, public‑record release, etc.). Payments are made within 45 days of invoice via the state’s PayMode system.
