Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior contract 140A2324P0115 awarded to Guardian Pest Solutions ($58,504, 01/29/24–01/31/29) for “PEST CONTROL FOR TURTLE MOUNTAIN ERC” appears closely related to this PEST CONTROL requirement in Belcourt, ND. The current scope similarly calls for ongoing pest management inside designated school buildings (insects and rodents) along with annual exterior gopher control, monthly inspections, treatment/baiting, and recurring reporting—activities that are consistent with a continuation of the same school-focused pest control services.
