NIGP 19217: Chemical Spill Solvents and Detergents

NIGP 19217 Chemical Spill Solvents and Detergents, Item tier, encompasses liquid de-icing and ice-control products that state and local public works departments procure for winter road maintenance. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement issued an RFQ on September 30, 2026 for calcium chloride supply to its Public Works Department, requesting 200,000 gallons for vendor-site loading and 100,000 gallons for delivery to a DPW storage tank, with quotes due October 14, 2026. The specification calls for liquid calcium chloride with pH of 5 and a composition of 57–62% calcium chloride by weight and 66–74% water by weight, supplied on a net-30 basis at a quoted per-gallon rate. Vendors must hold at least three years of calcium chloride supply experience, maintain a facility within 20 miles of Detroit city limits open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and carry automobile liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 combined single limit plus Michigan statutory minimum workers' compensation coverage. The contract term spans two years with possible renewal options. Detroit's equalization credit policy extends pricing credits of 1% to 5% to Detroit-based, Detroit-resident, Detroit-headquartered, or other certified business classifications, with award going to the lowest equalized bid provided the equalized price does not exceed 12% above the lowest responsible bid or $100,000, whichever is less.

Recent activity under this code centers on the Midwest, with Detroit as an active buyer of de-icing chemicals for municipal road treatment. The City of Detroit RFQ represents the documented state or local procurement under this code in the current dataset. Vendors pursuing this work face established specifications tied to winter road-maintenance cycles, local supplier-location requirements, and Detroit's certified-business preference structure; pre-award requirements include City of Detroit Treasury Clearance, notarized Consolidated Affidavits, and SAM registration.
