Pool Chemicals for ET Mahoney and Platte River

The State of Nebraska's State Purchasing Bureau (SPB) is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Pool Chemicals for Eugene T. Mahoney and Platte River State Parks, with responses due on May 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to supply various pool maintenance chemicals, including sanitizers, pH adjusters, alkalinity control agents, and shock treatments. Specific chemical requirements include sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, sodium carbonate, muriatic acid, sodium bisulfate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium hypochlorite, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 100 to 15,000 units. The contract will have an initial one-year term with options to renew for four additional one-year periods. Evaluation criteria will consider price, quality, delivery time, and vendor qualifications, with potential preference given to Nebraska vendors. Vendors must comply with federal, state, and local regulations for chemical transportation and handling, and provide necessary documentation such as Material Safety Data Sheets. Bulk delivery to the two state parks is required, with specific delivery instructions and hazardous materials handling protocols.

The solicitation does not appear to have explicit set-aside designations, but it does indicate potential preference for Nebraska-based vendors, resident disabled veterans, or businesses in designated enterprise zones. The contract is not expected to be exclusive, which suggests the State may contract with multiple vendors. Pricing will be fixed for the first twelve months, with potential price adjustments thereafter subject to State Purchasing Bureau approval. The procurement requires comprehensive documentation, including usage reporting and detailed delivery specifications. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the provided documents, the cost sheet suggests significant annual chemical requirements across multiple product categories. Vendors must demonstrate capability to handle complex chemical delivery logistics, including bulk transportation and adherence to strict safety and regulatory standards. The solicitation covers Sarpy County and is part of a broader state-level procurement effort to maintain pool chemical supplies for state parks.
