Contract Award Document: Nalco Water Company FY27 Agreement

This is a contract award document for the City of Bloomfield, New Mexico, involving the procurement of CATFLOC KL-10, a proprietary coagulant blend used as the primary coagulant at the City of Bloomfield's Water Treatment Plant. The contract was awarded to Nalco Water Company following extensive testing that demonstrated CATFLOC KL-10 to be the only coagulant capable of effectively treating the city's source water. The agreement covers the supply and delivery of this specialized chemical treatment product for the fiscal year 2027 period. The procurement process prioritized the technical performance and compatibility of the coagulant with the specific water quality challenges present in Bloomfield's water supply system.

The contract represents a continuation of the city's commitment to maintaining water treatment efficacy through proven chemical solutions. Nalco Water Company, as the incumbent supplier and sole provider of this proprietary product, holds the exclusive contract for supplying CATFLOC KL-10 to the facility. The procurement is driven by operational necessity, as the product's unique formulation addresses the particular characteristics of the city's source water that alternative coagulants cannot adequately treat. Funding for this contractual obligation is sourced through the City of Bloomfield's water utility budget, supporting ongoing operations of the municipal water treatment infrastructure.
