About this file
This is an Attachment F specifications document issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division for Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 304T-27-180A1.2 regarding chemicals for janitorial and laundry product manufacturing. The solicitation encompasses five chemical line items: Fluorescent Brightener (Fluostain I), Hydrochloric Acid Technical Grade at 20 Degrees Baumé, Phosphoric Acid 85% Technical, Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Minimum order quantities vary by product, ranging from 300 pounds for the fluorescent brightener to 18,504 pounds for phosphoric acid. Packaging specifications are detailed for each chemical, with shelf life requirements ranging from one to three years depending on the product.
Each chemical line item includes detailed specifications governing physical form, color, storage conditions, and precise chemical property requirements with minimum and maximum acceptable values. For example, the Hydrochloric Acid must be 31.4 to 34.2 percent by weight with a strength of 20.2 degrees Baumé minimum, while the Phosphoric Acid must be 85 percent by weight with a maximum storage temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Referenced manufacturers are provided for each item with "or equal" language permitting alternative suppliers meeting the stated specifications. Packaging requirements specify moisture-proof multi-wall paper bags for powders and rigid polyethylene or airtight poly drums for liquids, with net weights and minimum order quantities clearly defined to ensure adequate supply for the state's janitorial and laundry product manufacturing operations.
