NC26-4 Water Treatment Services

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, in collaboration with the Office of Energy Development, is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for water treatment maintenance services. The procurement seeks to establish a single contract with a qualified vendor for a five-year term, with the first year's pricing guaranteed by the selected vendor. This contract opportunity (NC26-4) is designed to secure comprehensive water treatment services, with a focus on responsive and responsible vendor selection based on lowest cost. No mandatory site visit is required for bidders, which may simplify the proposal process. The solicitation was posted on July 18, 2025, with proposals due by August 1, 2025, providing potential vendors approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their bids. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize cost-effectiveness, technical capability, and the vendor's ability to meet the specified scope of work outlined in the attached documents, particularly Attachment B: Scope of Work.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, vendors should carefully review the prerequisite documentation, specifically the "Vendor Prerequisites - IFB Agency" PDF, which may contain information about organizational qualifications or restrictions. The contract appears structured to accommodate a wide range of water treatment service providers, with an anticipated total contract value that would support comprehensive maintenance services over the five-year period. Interested vendors must thoroughly examine the attached documents, including the Agency Contract Terms and Conditions, to understand the full scope of requirements and compliance expectations. The bid documents (both official and unofficial Excel spreadsheets) suggest a structured approach to pricing and proposal submission. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the procurement's focus on lowest-cost selection indicates a competitive bidding environment with potential significant value for the selected vendor.
