The initial contract term is one year, with potential for up to four additional one-year renewals. The solicitation will be released on OpenGov Procurement, with the due date set for July 18, 2024, and vendors must register on the platform to participate.

Four vendors have previously submitted bids for this contract, including Carus Corporation, Chemrite Inc., American Water Chemical, and Shannon Chemical Corporation.
