About this file
This document is a specifications and requirements attachment for Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 304T-26-180A1.1, issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division for chemicals used in janitorial and laundry product manufacturing. The IFB solicits five chemical line items: Fluorescent Brightener (Fluostain I), Hydrochloric Acid Technical Grade (20 Degrees Baume), Phosphoric Acid (85% Technical), Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, and Surfactant (Nonionic Nonoxyphenol Ethanol). Each line item specifies required physical properties, minimum shelf life, packaging requirements, and chemical composition standards. Minimum order quantities range from 300 pounds for Fluorescent Brightener to 19,200 pounds for the Surfactant, with all products measured and priced by the pound.
The specifications establish detailed chemical property requirements for each product, including assay percentages, pH levels, viscosity measurements, color standards, and permissible contaminant levels such as heavy metals and arsenic. Packaging requirements vary by product, with items supplied in either moisture-proof paper bags or airtight drums with capacities ranging from 30 to 480 pounds per unit. Shelf life requirements range from one to three years depending on the chemical. The document references specific manufacturers or equivalent products as acceptable alternatives, allowing bidders flexibility in sourcing while maintaining consistent quality standards for the state's janitorial and laundry product manufacturing operations.
