NIGP 74005: Ammonia

NIGP 74005 Ammonia, an Item code, encompasses anhydrous ammonia and related ammonia compounds that state and local governments procure primarily for water and wastewater treatment operations. The City of Lewisville, Texas recently solicited an annual contract for approximately 20 tons of anhydrous ammonia delivered in 3–4 ton increments to its water treatment plant under competitive sealed bid RFB Number 26-87-A, with bids due June 15, 2026. State and local issuing bodies under this code include municipal water utilities, wastewater treatment authorities, and county jurisdictions. The Lewisville procurement requires ANSI/NSF certification (standards 60 and 61), firm unit pricing on FOB destination basis, delivery Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and compliance with extensive operational and safety standards including vehicle inspections, driver background checks and drug testing, and specified insurance coverage ($500,000 per occurrence general liability and $500,000 combined single limit automobile liability). The City evaluates awards under best value criteria, including lowest responsible bid, vendor reputation, quality, fit to municipal needs, and impact on contracting with historically underutilized businesses and nonprofit organizations employing persons with disabilities, though no specific disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides are designated. The contract term spans twelve months with options to renew for up to three additional twelve-month periods.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with the Lewisville opportunity representing municipal water treatment procurement in the region. The source shows no additional ammonia solicitations beyond the Lewisville water treatment contract and an unrelated law enforcement equipment RFP from Sourcewell. Geographic spread is limited to the single Texas opportunity documented in recent postings; broader state and local ammonia procurement activity is not reflected in the available opportunities block.
