About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification memorandum from the Village of Los Lunas Wastewater Treatment Plant Division, dated October 15, 2025, justifying a sole source procurement from SNF Polydyne Inc. for sludge polymer used in dewatering operations. The procurement concerns the continued supply of CLARIFLOC C-6286, a liquid cationic polymer specifically formized for sludge conditioning and dewatering at the facility. The Village seeks to procure four 2,300-pound totes of the polymer product. No specific response deadline, site visits, or bidder conferences are referenced in the documentation. The justification cites the polymer's technical compatibility with existing equipment, superior solids capture efficiency, and proven operational reliability over multiple years of use.
SNF Polydyne Inc., located at 1 Chemical Plant Road, Riceboro, Georgia 31323, is identified as the sole manufacturer and supplier of the CLARIFLOC C-6286 formulation due to its proprietary molecular structure, molecular weight, and unique raw material components that are non-substitutable. The pricing quotation provided establishes a unit price of $1.76 per pound delivered, with an extended price of $16,192.00 for the four-tote order. The Village emphasizes that switching polymer suppliers would require extensive process re-testing and could jeopardize operational stability and regulatory compliance with discharge and biosolids regulations. SNF Polydyne has provided technical support and training to the Village for multiple years and maintains familiarity with the plant's operations. The procurement is justified under the State of New Mexico Procurement Code (NMSA 1978, 13-1-126) and 1.4.1.7 NMAC for sole source procurements.

Subject: Sole Source Justification Procurement Type: Sole Source Vendor: SNF Polydyne Inc.
Address: 1 Chemical Plant Road, Riceboro, GA 31323
I. Purpose This memorandum serves as justification for a sole-source procurement under the State of New Mexico Procurement Code (NMSA 1978, §13-1-126) for the continued purchase of sludge polymer used in the dewatering operations at the Village of Los Lunas Wastewater Treatment Plant.
II. Description of Procurement The Village of Los Lunas Wastewater Division requires a reliable supply of liquid cationic polymer for sludge conditioning and dewatering. The polymer is used in conjunction with the facility’s [centrifuge or belt filter press – specify as appropriate] to achieve optimal solids capture and sludge cake dryness while maintaining regulatory discharge standards.
The polymer product in use is manufactured and supplied exclusively by SNF Polydyne Inc.
III. Sole Source Justification
1. Technical Compatibility and Performance
• The SNF Polydyne polymer has been specifically optimized and tested for compatibility with the Village’s existing sludge characteristics, dewatering equipment, and process configuration.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Division
• Polymer performance is unique and non-transferable switching brands would require extensive re-testing, recalibration of feed systems, and potential process upsets.
• The current polymer has demonstrated superior solids capture efficiency, reduced polymer dosage rates, and improved dewatering consistency compared to previously tested products.
2. Operational Reliability
• Consistent performance from SNF Polydyne polymer ensures uninterrupted sludge handling and compliance with discharge and biosolids regulations.
• Deviating from this product could result in increased polymer consumption, poor sludge quality, or equipment fouling, leading to higher operating costs and potential permit violations.
3. Proprietary Product
• SNF Polydyne polymers are proprietary formulations not available through alternative manufacturers or distributors.
• The specific polymer currently used at the Los Lunas Wastewater Treatment Plant is only available directly through SNF Polydyne Inc.
4. Past Performance and Support
• SNF Polydyne has provided reliable technical and delivery support to the Village for multiple years, ensuring product availability, training, and emergency response when needed.
• The company’s technical staff is familiar with the Village’s plant operations and has assisted in optimizing polymer usage, resulting in measurable cost and efficiency improvements.
IV. Market Context and Rationale The Village of Los Lunas Wastewater Division recognizes that there are multiple polymer suppliers in the industry. However, based on the Village’s extensive operational experience and the proven effectiveness of SNF Polydyne’ s products, no further testing or market assessment has been necessary at this time. SNF Polydyne’ s polymer has consistently shown reliable performance, a stable supply, and compatibility with the Village’s specific treatment processes and equipment. Switching products would require extensive process re-testing and could jeopardize performance stability. Considering this consistent, satisfactory performance and the importance of sludge dewatering operations, it is in the Village’s best interest to continue procuring from SNF Polydyne to ensure operational consistency and regulatory compliance.
