The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) requires an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program to ensure safe shopping environments in its commissaries worldwide. The program involves monitoring facilities for pests, recommending structural modifications, and using low-toxicity pesticides alongside non-chemical control methods. The contractor must provide all necessary labor, equipment, and transportation, maintain current licenses, and submit a detailed IPM plan for approval within 30 days of contract commencement. Services include regular pest management twice monthly, flying insect control, drain bioremediation, and unscheduled emergency or routine calls. The contractor is responsible for controlling various pests, including rodents, insects, and nuisance wildlife, adhering to strict safety and environmental regulations. All operations must be documented electronically, and a quality control program is required to ensure compliance with contract specifications.

The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) issued a Request for Information (RFI) HQC00526QE001 to identify firms capable of providing integrated pest control management services. The anticipated contract period is April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, with four option years. Interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) under NAICS code 561710. DeCA, a component of the Department of War, operates a worldwide commissary system. Firms are requested to submit a synopsis (not exceeding 20 pages) detailing their program's value to Natalie Allen and Robert French via email. The RFI does not guarantee a future Request for Quotation or award, and DeCA will not cover expenses incurred by respondents.
