Neosho School District is accepting proposals for Integrated Pest Management Services across all district facilities in Neosho, Missouri. The district seeks qualified contractors able to provide safe, effective pest-control services under Missouri and federal requirements, including RSMo Chapter 281.
Deadline: October 14, 2026 at 2:00 PM CT. Late proposals will not be accepted.
Submission method: Deliver a sealed proposal to Neosho School District, 418 Fairground Rd., Neosho, MO 64850. The district requires two hard copies plus one digital copy on a USB drive inside the sealed submission. The package must be clearly marked for the Integrated Pest Management Services RFP.
Scope: Districtwide treatment and prevention for insects and rodents, with pricing for both quarterly and monthly service options. Contractors must provide facility-level pricing, respond to infestation reports within 24 hours at no additional charge, and include callback and retreatment visits between scheduled services.
Qualifications and documentation: The proposal must include a cover letter, company background and relevant experience, a detailed IPM approach, three commercial references, three K-12 school-district references if available, proof of liability insurance, copies of Missouri State Certified Commercial Applicator licenses for personnel applying chemicals, SDS documentation, and completed pricing forms. Technicians assigned to district facilities must satisfy the district’s criminal-background-check requirements and visitor procedures.
Safety and regulatory requirements: Services must comply with National Pest Control Association standards, modern IPM practices, Missouri’s Pesticide Use Act, and applicable requirements governing pesticide use near food preparation and storage areas. The solicitation calls for at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance, with a $2,000,000 aggregate recommended.
Questions, site tours, and updates: Building tours must be scheduled by September 24, 2026. Questions are due September 24, 2026 to Steffen Wiest, Executive Director of Operations. The district states that any applicable update will be posted to its website on October 1, 2026. The official district contact number is 417-451-8600. No separate FAQ document is identified on the public RFP page.
Funding/value and procurement terms: The district does not publish an estimated contract value or guaranteed spend. Match or cost share is not applicable because this is a procurement. The initial contract term is November 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with up to two one-year renewal options if continued service is in the district’s best interest.
Evaluation: The district assigns 10 points to the cover letter, 10 points to company background, 60 points to the Integrated Pest Management approach, 10 points to commercial references, and 10 points to school references.
Atlas fit: Atlas Opportunity Score 42/100. N9+ Fit 0/100. QC Healthcare/other Dr. Miltie Fit 0/100. This is a legitimate Missouri K-12 procurement but it is unrelated to healthcare delivery, telehealth, remote examination, or clinical equipment. Available Dr. Miltie records do not establish the required pest-control licenses, K-12 IPM experience, applicator staffing, insurance, or references, so Dr. Miltie, LLC should not be treated as a qualified direct bidder.
