SW0003 Water Treatment Chemicals Supplemental

The Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) Central Purchasing Division is seeking suppliers to provide a supplemental contract for water treatment chemicals under solicitation SW0003. This procurement opportunity covers a comprehensive range of 60 distinct water treatment chemical items, including various chlorine compounds, acids, sodium compounds, phosphates, lime, bleach, and specialized water treatment solutions for industrial and municipal applications. The solicitation requires vendors to provide detailed product specifications, including brand names, manufacturer numbers, supplier part numbers, unit costs, extended costs, lead times, and minimum order requirements for each item. Bids must be submitted via the Oklahoma Supplier Portal by 3:00 p.m. CST on March 10, 2025, with preliminary administrative review requests due by February 13, 2025, and vendor questions due by February 26, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on best value, considering factors such as price, past performance, product breadth, minimum order requirements, and delivery timeframes. The contract will be effective from the last signature date through January 2, 2026, with potential four one-year renewal options extending through January 2, 2030.

The procurement allows for broad participation, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned, though vendors must complete standard compliance forms including the Non-Collusion Certification (Form CP004) and Responding Bidder Information (Form CP076). Vendors must demonstrate compliance with various state requirements, including registration with the Oklahoma Secretary of State, workers' compensation insurance, and certifications regarding boycott restrictions. While no specific incumbent vendors are identified, previously awarded suppliers are noted as not needing to respond to this supplemental solicitation. The contract will be available for use by state agencies, political subdivisions, and potentially other governmental entities through multistate agreements. Vendors must include a mandatory 1% contract management fee in their pricing and submit quarterly Contract Usage Reports. While no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the extensive list of 60 chemical items suggests a potentially significant procurement opportunity with flexible ordering capabilities for water treatment needs across various Oklahoma governmental entities.
