How to bid on pest control services for Indian Health Service in Wagner
What Indian Health Service is seeking
The Indian Health Service is conducting market research on providers that could supply pest control at the Wagner Health Center clinic, a Veterans Administration clinic, and Wagner Health Center housing in Wagner, South Dakota. The work described includes monthly inspections and treatments, integrated pest management, and urgent response when needed.
The potential service period is one base year and four option years, from January 2027 through December 2031. This is a Sources Sought notice, not a contract solicitation, and IHS says it may issue a Request for Quote later.
Deadline and what happens next
The notice gives a response deadline of October 31, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. The listing also shows October 31 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time, which is the same time.
IHS says responses must arrive by the deadline to be considered. This notice does not award a contract or commit IHS to one; the information will help the agency assess the market and choose an acquisition method.
Who this opportunity may suit
This market research is aimed at Indian Economic Enterprises and small businesses that provide exterminating and pest control services. The anticipated NAICS code is 561710.
It may be relevant to firms able to serve healthcare and residential facilities, provide routine inspections and treatments, and respond to urgent pest problems. The described work also calls for integrated pest management and use of EPA-approved pesticides.
How to respond
Send capability information by email to John Archambeau, Purchasing Agent, at [email protected]. Put Sources Sought Number IHS-WAG-27-1532105 in the email subject line, and make sure the response arrives by the stated deadline.

Prepare a focused capability response
Explain your firm's pest control experience and how it relates to the clinic, VA clinic, and housing locations described. Address your approach to monthly inspections and treatments, prevention through integrated pest management, and urgent response.
Make the response easy to assess: use the notice number in the subject line, answer the requested market-research purpose directly, and check that the email is sent well before the deadline. Do not treat this response as a price quote or assume it guarantees a future contract.
