Bed Bug Inspection and Treatment Services

The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego, California, is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive bed bug inspection and treatment services. The agency requires these services to identify, monitor, and eradicate bed bug infestations and their eggs within its designated units and areas. The selected contractor must resolve infestations using a combination of approved treatment modalities and prevent reinfestations through structured follow-up protocols. The scope of work requires the contractor to conduct detailed visual inspections of all typical bed bug harborages, including beds, bedding, frames, upholstered furniture, baseboards, outlets, closets, and electronics. When authorized by property management, the contractor may deploy certified canine detection teams, provided the handler visually verifies all alerts. The contractor must also deploy passive interceptors, active monitors, and other approved detection devices to confirm the presence or absence of bed bugs. Treatments must begin within three days of an inspection unless the agency approves an alternative timeline. The contractor must conduct follow-up inspections seven to ten days after treatment and continue monitoring for up to sixty days using visual inspections, monitors, and canine detection. If bed bugs remain present during this period, the contractor must provide re-treatment at no additional cost to the agency. The agency limits eligibility to onshore contractors located within the United States, and all work must be performed onsite in San Diego, California. Bidders may submit their proposals digitally via email or through the online portal. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for cost proposals from interested bidders. The agency will award a contract for a performance period of one year. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 15, 2026, to address questions regarding the procurement. The agency has not specified the final proposal submission deadline or the exact evaluation criteria in the initial solicitation details.
