Electrolyzed Water Disinfection Systems

The City of Austin, Texas is soliciting bids under IFB 7500 MAS1016 for standalone electrolyzed water disinfection systems and ongoing maintenance, with offers due December 10, 2026 at 2:00 PM CT. Evaluation carries a local-business preference: five percent for bids up to $500,000 and three percent for bids between $500,000 and $50 million. Small Business prime contractors receive the same discounts, and non-small-business primes with Certified Small Business subcontractors representing at least 5% of total bid value receive two percent (bids up to $500,000) or one percent (bids above $500,000 to $50 million). These discounts apply only to the competitive evaluation and do not affect resulting contract pricing.

The contractor must deliver, install, and maintain systems that generate a non-toxic electrolyzed water solution from water and sodium chloride for cleaning and disinfecting multiple surfaces. Covered City facilities include offices, restrooms, breakrooms, kitchens, animal pens and treatment areas, vehicle bays, and storage warehouses. Required services include routine preventive maintenance, inspections, repairs, and replacement parts.

The solicitation does not state a contract value. The term and renewal options are defined in the referenced Scope of Work document, with potential extensions at the City's sole discretion. Pricing is fixed for the first 12 calendar months, after which adjustments are limited to the percentage change in U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Series WPU119 (machinery and equipment) and Series CIU2020000430000A (labor), capped at changes affecting overall contract value. Payment is due within 30 calendar days of delivery or invoice receipt, whichever is later, with late-payment interest at the lesser of the rate under Texas Government Code 2251.025 or the maximum lawful rate.

Questions are due December 1, 2026 at 2:00 PM CT. A non-mandatory pre-offer meeting is scheduled for November 19, 2026 at 10:00 AM CT via Microsoft Teams. Bids open at 3:00 PM CT on December 10, 2026, and all offers must be submitted through Austin Finance Online's eResponse system.
