SWSC Bid No. 24-56 Purchase and Delivery of Liquid Phosphoric Acid

The Springfield Water and Sewer Commission (SWSC) in Hampden County, Massachusetts, is seeking bids from qualified vendors for the purchase and delivery of approximately 300,000 pounds of liquid phosphoric acid (75%). The material will be delivered in bulk liquid deliveries of approximately 45,000 pounds each to the West Parish Filters Treatment Plant in Westfield, MA. Bid responses will be received until 2:00 PM EST on March 14, 2024, at which time they will be publicly opened and read. The SWSC is seeking a one-year contract, with two one-year renewal options, for an amount not to exceed $260,000 per year. All questions must be submitted in writing to the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) no later than March 7, 2024, at 4:00 PM, and the CPO reserves the right to reject any and all proposals if it is in the best interest of the SWSC to do so.

The procurement does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The IFB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no mention of any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The procurement has a potential total contract value of up to $780,000 over the three-year period if both one-year renewal options are exercised.
