The Northeast Mississippi Regional Water Supply District is seeking sealed bids for the purchase of alum, a critical chemical used in potable water treatment, for their water treatment plant with an 18 million gallons per day (MGD) capacity located in Fulton, Mississippi. The procurement opportunity requires vendors to supply alum that meets ANSI/NSF Standard 60, with mandatory documentation of certification and approval. Bids must be submitted by December 11, 2024, at 11 AM Central Time, with bid opening and review occurring on the same date, and final bid approval scheduled for the District Board meeting on December 19, 2024. Vendors must guarantee delivery within 5 days of order, with deliveries restricted to Monday through Friday between 8 AM and 4 PM. The bid pricing must remain constant for the period of January 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025, and will be F.O.B. to the Northeast Mississippi Regional Water Treatment Plant. The District reserves the right to accept alternate bids if the primary supplier cannot meet specifications and maintains the ability to reject any or all submitted bids.

While the document does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations, it suggests that any qualified vendor capable of meeting the technical specifications can submit a bid. The procurement does not indicate a specific budget range or award value, though the scope suggests a recurring chemical supply contract for water treatment operations. The District will process invoices received after the third Wednesday of each month in the subsequent month, indicating a standard municipal payment schedule. No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and there are no explicit requirements for integration with existing infrastructure beyond meeting the specified chemical standards. Potential bidders should carefully review the technical requirements, particularly the ANSI/NSF Standard 60 certification, delivery constraints, and pricing stability requirements, to ensure full compliance with the procurement specifications.
