NIGP 19057: Intermediates and Fixatives, Chemical

NIGP 19057 Intermediates And Fixatives, Chemical (Item) encompasses therapeutic-grade formaldehyde and related chemical fixatives that state and local governments procure for fish hatchery operations, wildlife management, and grounds maintenance. The State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and Pasco County, Florida represent the issuing-body mix — a state wildlife agency and a county government both seeking chemical supplies for operational needs. Recent solicitations show two distinct application streams: the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources sought 55-gallon barrels of 37% formaldehyde for fish and egg treatment at hatcheries under a five-year contract, while Pasco County is procuring herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis for two county maintenance facilities. Both jurisdictions issued invitations for bid (IFB) with lowest-cost-responsive-bidder awards and multi-year contract periods.

Activity under the code concentrates in the Mountain West and Southeast, with recent opportunities posted from Utah and Florida. The State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources issued IFB JF26-86 in June 2026 requesting bids for 150 55-gallon barrels of FDA-approved formaldehyde to be delivered to Mantua Fish Hatchery or Glenwood Fish Hatchery, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 and a five-year contract term; the state anticipated consuming up to 150 barrels annually. Pasco County issued IFB-SP-26-074 in May 2026 seeking herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides for delivery to facilities in New Port Richey and Zephyrhills, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 and a contract period running through September 30, 2029 with potential two-year extensions; the county applied a Local Vendor Preference option and required vendors to demonstrate a minimum three years in business with at least two comparable prior contracts. Both solicitations required F.O.B. Destination pricing, proof of insurance coverage, and E-Verify compliance.
