ITB Purchase of Sodium Hypochlorite Solution 2025

Clean Water Services, a local water district in Oregon, has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the purchase of sodium hypochlorite solution in bulk quantities. The procurement seeks a twelve-month contract beginning November 1, 2025, and running through October 31, 2026. Bids are due by 11:00:00 a.m. local time on Friday, September 26, 2025, and must be submitted through Equity Hub's Bid Locker platform. Vendors are required to register with Bid Locker before submitting bids, with no associated registration cost. The bid opening will be conducted publicly via telephone conference, with bidders able to participate by calling (503) 681-4498. Interested parties are advised to check the Bid Locker website daily for potential amendments, addenda, or additional information. The district reserves the right to reject any bid that does not comply with public bidding procedures or that is deemed not in the public interest.

The ITB does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Bidders are not required to be licensed under ORS 468A.720 (asbestos abatement licensing), which suggests a relatively open competitive environment. Potential bidders can obtain copies of the ITB by downloading from either the Bid Locker website or the district's website, with contact information available for assistance. While specific budget ranges or award values are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation, the procurement is for a comprehensive twelve-month sodium hypochlorite solution contract. The public nature of the bid and the open submission process indicate that multiple vendors may be eligible to compete for this contract. Prospective bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure compliance with the specified submission requirements and timelines.
