ITB- Purchase of Sodium Hypochlorite

Clean Water Services in Washington County, Oregon is seeking bids for an eleven-month contract to purchase bulk sodium hypochlorite solution, with the contract period running from December 1, 2023, through October 31, 2024, and an option for a one-year extension. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) specifies that potential vendors must submit their sealed bids by 10:00 a.m. PST on November 14, 2023, with bids to be publicly opened and read aloud via telephone conference. Bidders are required to download the ITB from the District's website and must register with Bid Locker to submit their proposals. The procurement process mandates strict compliance with public bidding procedures, and the District reserves the right to reject any bid that does not meet the prescribed requirements. Potential vendors must carefully review all documentation and obtain any subsequent addenda from the District's website to ensure a complete and compliant bid submission.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or detailed information about incumbent vendors. No specific budget range or award value was provided in the available documentation. Bidders will need to carefully review the complete ITB documentation to understand any potential restrictions on organizational eligibility or specific qualifications required for this sodium hypochlorite procurement. The contract appears to be structured as a standard competitive bidding process open to qualified suppliers capable of meeting the District's bulk chemical supply requirements. Given the nature of the procurement and the chemical being solicited, vendors will likely need to demonstrate technical capabilities in chemical manufacturing, transportation, and delivery of high-quality sodium hypochlorite solution suitable for water treatment applications.
