6" EPDM Gripper Gaskets Supply

The contract calls for the supply of 76 units of 6-inch EPDM gripper gaskets specifically designed for use with ductile iron pipe joints, entirely compliant with the American Water Works Association standard AWWA C110. These gaskets are critical components for ensuring leak-free, durable connections in water and sewage infrastructure, and the requirement for AWWA C110 compliance ensures they meet rigorous industry specifications for material quality, performance, and longevity under pressure and environmental conditions. The gaskets must be manufactured and delivered to fulfill the needs of the Orange Water & Sewer Authority in North Carolina, with the work tied to a subcontract arrangement under NAICS code 326220, indicating the focus on rubber product manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on July 7, 2026, with a firm deadline for responses on July 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM EST, leaving a window of approximately three weeks for interested parties to prepare and submit bids. While no set-aside designation or detailed point of contact information is provided, the contract is managed under the authority’s procurement system in North Carolina, with performance expected to support infrastructure projects within the agency’s service area. All deliveries and documentation must align with the contractual obligations outlined in the solicitation, accessible via the official state procurement portal, and failure to meet compliance standards or delivery timelines could result in disqualification or contract termination.
