NIGP 88576: Odor Control Chemicals, etc.

NIGP 88576 Odor Control Chemicals, Etc., an Item code, encompasses chemical treatment products and services for managing odorous and corrosive compounds in municipal wastewater collection, treatment, and biosolids handling—primarily sodium hypochlorite, magnesium hydroxide slurry, ferrous iron salts, ferrous chloride, hydrogen peroxide, and specialized proprietary formulations applied via injection or surface treatment. State and local water utilities, wastewater treatment authorities, and pollution control plants are the primary buyers, with municipal water and wastewater departments representing the dominant share of recent solicitation activity. Cities and counties in the Southeast—particularly Florida and Georgia—show the highest concentration of recent procurement, though activity spans Connecticut, Texas, and California. Smaller municipalities and mid-size county systems are active buyers; repeat issuers over the past six months include the City of Cocoa, Gwinnett County (Georgia), and the City of Tallahassee.

Recent representative opportunities illustrate the scope and structure. The City of Cocoa issued ITB B2617COC (due September 23, 2026) for liquid sodium hypochlorite conforming to ANSI/AWWA B300 standards, NSF 60/61 certified, for delivery within 72 hours to six municipal water and reclamation facilities across a five-year term with annual price-adjustment provisions tied to the Producer Price Index. The City of Tallahassee released IFB-067-26-CPW (due June 16, 2026) for magnesium hydroxide slurry across approximately 1,000 miles of sewer main and 114+ pump stations, requiring ANSI/NSF Standard 60 certification and firm pricing for the first year of a five-year initial contract with optional two-year renewals. The City of Dallas solicited a thirty-six-month ID/IQ service agreement (due June 26, 2026) valued at $10 million for ferrous iron salt, ferrous chloride, and bioxide injection into its wastewater collection system, with mandatory Small Business Enterprise participation goals under the DRIVE Policy and local vendor preference within five percent of lowest bid. Sarasota County issued IFB 262888RM (due August 7, 2026) for mulch bed media refurbishment and replacement at nine vacuum stations, structured as annual maintenance for four years followed by complete media replacement in year five, with mandatory site visits and hydrogen sulfide atmospheric testing. Bid structures typically require NSF certification, product data sheets, performance bonds (often 100 percent of contract value), and three to five years of demonstrated experience; most contracts run one to five years with firm initial pricing and modest annual adjustment provisions tied to published chemical indices.
