BACKGROUND

The mission of the Wagner Health Center (WHC) is to provide the highest quality healthcare services to the patients of the Yankton Sioux Reservation and surrounding communities in South Dakota. In order to sustain a safe, sanitary, and healing environment for patients, staff, and visitors, effective facility management is essential. A critical component of maintaining this environment is the prevention and control of pests that may pose risks to public health, damage facilities, or compromise the integrity of healthcare services. Pest activity in medical and residential settings can directly impact infection control standards, patient safety, staff working conditions, and compliance with federal and tribal health regulations. To meet this need, the Wagner Health Center requires a base year plus 4 one-year options, firm-fixed price, non-personal services contract for comprehensive pest control.

The Contractor shall ensure consistent and thorough pest control services across these facilities, safeguarding the health of patients and staff while protecting federal property.

OBJECTIVE
