NIGP 66517: Acrylic Polymer/Natural Material Blends (Corian)

NIGP 66517 Acrylic Polymer/Natural Material Blends (Corian), an Item code, covers specialized polymer products used in municipal water treatment and wastewater processing operations. State and local governments buy solids dewatering and thickening polymers for belt filter presses, rotary drum thickeners, and centrifugation systems at water reclamation facilities and water resources centers. The work involves supplying chemical polymers formulated to meet specific performance requirements for sludge dewatering applications, with vendors expected to conduct bench-scale and full-scale performance testing to demonstrate product efficacy against pre-approved baseline products. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county utility commissions and water resource departments; Gwinnett County (Georgia) and Jackson County Utility Authority (Mississippi) have posted recent opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted Solicitation PE77023NONST2027000000655 on July 1, 2026, a competitive sealed-bid IFB for solids dewatering and thickening polymer on a four-year annual contract with four optional one-year renewals, with bids due July 30, 2026 at 2:50 p.m., awarding to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on total cost per dry ton and polymer effectiveness meeting minimum performance requirements.
