ALPLM - Water Treatment Chemicals

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, located in Illinois, awarded a competitive sealed bidding contract to Walter Louis Chemicals (V00000807) on May 6, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2026. The contract value totals $6,745.80 and covers the supply of specialized water treatment chemicals for cooling system maintenance and monitoring. The primary deliverables include five distinct line items: a broad-spectrum microbiocide for algae, bacteria, and fungi control (15 units at $16.90 per unit); a liquid nitrite-borax treatment for closed system applications (45 units at $13.26 per unit); a cooling tower blend with low molybdate content for scale and corrosion inhibition (120 units at $39.15 per unit); a microbiocide formulation containing glutaraldehyde for slime-forming bacteria control (15 units at $36.50 per unit); and bacteria dip-slides for detecting bacterial and fungal contamination (6 kits at $108.35 per kit).

This procurement represents routine maintenance supplies required for the institution's cooling water systems management and quality assurance protocols. The contract period of approximately two months indicates this is a release order under a competitive sealed bidding framework, likely supporting the Library and Museum's facilities operations and Environmental Protection Agency-regulated cooling system compliance requirements. All chemical products specified include approved equivalents, allowing flexibility in sourcing while maintaining strict performance and safety standards.
