RFB-RC-2025-068 DEGREASER-Sewer Grease Liquefying Agent, Fusion 300 or equal

Rockland County is seeking a procurement for a sewer grease liquefying agent through a Request for Bid (RFB-RC-2025-068) for the County Sewer District #1, specifically targeting Fusion 300 or an approved equivalent product. The procurement aims to acquire a chemical solution capable of dissolving hard, soap-like grease deposits in municipal sewer collection systems, with an estimated annual usage of 600 gallons. Bidders must provide detailed documentation including a mixing and usage guide, product label, safety data sheet, and manufacturer authorization, with the product required to demonstrate successful use for at least two years across five municipal users. The bid evaluation will be based on total cost, calculated using a specific formula considering the percentage of solution required per 1,500 gallons of water and unit pricing. Proposals are due electronically by 3:00 PM on June 10, 2025, through the Empire Procure Connect Submission Portal, with the contract term spanning one year and offering four optional one-year renewals. Delivery requirements mandate shipment to the Rockland County Sewer District #1 facility in Orangeburg, NY within 15 working days after order receipt.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors, with potential emphasis on small and minority-owned businesses as suggested by the attached Federal Contract Clause document. Vendors must complete comprehensive disclosure documents, including a Statement of Required Disclosures, a Certificate of Experience, and compliance certifications covering areas such as non-collusion, political contributions, and ethical business practices. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the county indicates a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in municipal sewer maintenance solutions. The solicitation is part of the Empire State Cooperative Procurement Alliance, which allows multiple public entities to potentially leverage the contract. Pricing must be submitted per gallon, F.O.B. destination, with options for full pallet and less-than-pallet orders. The successful bidder will be required to provide a 100% money-back guarantee that the product effectively clears sewer lines of grease and prevents re-coagulation. Although specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the estimated annual usage of 600 gallons suggests a moderate-scale procurement opportunity.
