The Northeast Mississippi Regional Water Supply District is seeking sealed bids for the purchase of phosphate specifically intended for a potable water treatment plant with an 18 MGD capacity located in Fulton, Mississippi, within Itawamba County. The procurement opportunity requires vendors to provide phosphate that meets ANSI/NSF Standard 60 approval, with mandatory submission of a certificate of approval alongside the bid. Sealed bids will be received until 11 AM Central Time on December 11th, 2024, with bid opening and review occurring at the treatment plant address and final bid approval scheduled for the District Board meeting on December 19th, 2024. Successful vendors must commit to phosphate delivery within 10 working days of order notification, with recognized delivery times being Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM. The bid pricing must remain constant for a six-month period from January 1st through June 30th, 2025. The District expressly reserves the right to reject any and all submitted bids, maintaining significant discretion in the procurement process.

While the procurement documentation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises, it provides clear parameters for potential bidders. Invoicing is structured such that invoices received after the third Wednesday of the month will be processed for payment in the subsequent month. The document does not disclose specific budget ranges or award values for the phosphate procurement, nor does it reference incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements. The procurement appears focused solely on securing a phosphate supplier for the water treatment plant with stringent quality and delivery specifications. No additional information is provided regarding vendor qualifications beyond the ANSI/NSF Standard 60 approval requirement, suggesting that vendors with appropriate chemical supply capabilities and certifications would be eligible to submit bids.
