About this opportunity

The Macon Water Authority is pursuing a sole source procurement for Liquid Blended Phosphate 23-77-SQ from Aqua Smart Inc, specifically for water treatment and distribution operations at the Amerson Water Treatment Plant. The procurement involves supplying approximately 4,000 gallons per load over a twelve-month contract period, with an estimated eight total loads. The chemical product is designed to provide specialized corrosion control capabilities for water distribution systems, with unique properties that interrupt the electrochemical corrosion process without relying on film formation or scale-building mechanisms. The product can operate effectively across a pH range of 6.5-8.5 and is non-toxic, meeting the technical requirements of the water treatment infrastructure. The solicitation is open for potential suppliers to challenge the sole source determination by filing a written protest with the Deputy Commissioner of the State Purchasing Division prior to the closing date of October 30, 2025.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The total estimated contract value is $266,560.00 for the twelve-month term, with Aqua Smart Inc positioned as the sole source provider based on the proprietary characteristics of their Liquid Blended Phosphate 23-77-SQ product. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements were explicitly noted in the documentation. The procurement is specific to Bibb County, Georgia, and is being conducted by the Macon Water Authority. Potential suppliers interested in challenging the sole source determination must follow the protest procedures outlined in Section 6.5, Step 4 of the Government Procurement Manual (GPM), with all protests needing to be received before the October 30, 2025 deadline.
