ITB - Purchase of Sodium Hypochlorite Solution

Clean Water Services in Washington County, Oregon, is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the purchase of sodium hypochlorite solution in bulk quantities. The procurement is a twelve-month contract set to begin on July 1, 2022, with an option to renew for one additional year. Bids are due by 10:00 A.M. PST on May 10, 2022, and must be submitted through the Equity Hub's Bid Locker system. At the same time, bids will be publicly opened and read aloud via telephone conference. Potential bidders are required to download the ITB from the District's website and are responsible for obtaining any addenda that may be issued. The solicitation appears to be focused on securing a reliable supplier of sodium hypochlorite solution, which is likely used in water treatment or related municipal services.

The ITB does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on bidder qualifications. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The document does not outline a specific budget range or award value for the contract. The only notable qualification mentioned is that bidders do not need to be licensed under ORS 468A.720, which relates to asbestos abatement contractors. Clean Water Services reserves the right to reject any bid that does not comply with public bidding procedures or if rejection is deemed to be in the public interest. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the available documentation, the procurement appears to be a straightforward competitive bidding process for a critical chemical supply contract.
