Lake Guard® Oxy Water Treatment

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has determined to award a single-source contract to BlueGreen Water Technologies for the procurement of Lake Guard® Oxy Water Treatment under solicitation number 2026SS012AD, with a total contract value of $7,475,000. This action is authorized under Florida Statute 287.057, which permits non-competitive procurement when a product is unique and available from only one source, in this case due to the proprietary buoyant application technology of Lake Guard® Oxy, which is exclusively produced and distributed by BlueGreen US Water Technologies, Inc. The treatment is intended for targeted mitigation of harmful algal blooms in Florida waterbodies to support compliance with the Florida Water Resources Act and protect ecosystem and public health, with no viable alternatives existing in the commercial market. The procurement process does not involve competitive bidding, evaluation factors, or standard FAR clauses, and no detailed technical specifications, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or delivery schedules are outlined in the documentation. The only procedural requirement for interested parties is the filing of a formal protest by June 23, 2026, to preserve rights under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes, with protests to be submitted to the agency’s Office of General Counsel via mail, email, or fax. All administrative details, including the agency’s contact for inquiries, are directed to Kimberly Bowling of the Office of Water Policy and Ecosystems Restoration, with no formal designation of a contracting officer, COR, or COTR, and no payment, invoicing, or accounting codes provided in the notice. The product will be delivered to locations throughout the State of Florida, though specific sites are not identified, and no FOB terms, labeling, or preservation requirements are specified, reflecting the non-defense, state-regulated nature of this acquisition.
