The Northeast Mississippi Regional Water Supply District is seeking sealed bids for the procurement of 10% sodium hypochlorite bleach for its potable water treatment plant located in Fulton, Mississippi. The water treatment facility has a capacity of 18 million gallons per day and requires bleach to be delivered in 4,500-gallon truck loads and stored in 5,000-gallon tanks at the treatment plant address of 5590 Hwy 178 West, Fulton, MS 38843. Vendors must provide bleach that is ANSI/NSF Standard 60 approved and submit certification documentation demonstrating compliance with specific purity and quality standards. Sealed bids are due by 11 AM Central Time on December 11, 2024, with bid opening and review occurring at the treatment plant location. The District plans to submit selected bids for board approval during their meeting on December 19, 2024. Pricing will be evaluated on a bulk basis, and the District reserves the right to accept alternative bids if the primary supplier cannot meet specifications.

While the procurement documents do not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, the bid is open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications for sodium hypochlorite. The District maintains flexibility in vendor selection, with the ability to consider alternative bids if primary suppliers cannot fulfill requirements. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value, but the requirement for 4,500-gallon truck loads suggests a substantial annual contract potential. No incumbent vendors are directly mentioned in the available documentation. The successful vendor will need to integrate their delivery and supply capabilities with the existing 5,000-gallon storage tank infrastructure at the water treatment facility. Vendors must ensure their product meets the stringent quality standards required for potable water treatment, with a focus on delivering a consistent and approved chemical product.
