Lake Guard® Oxy Water Treatment

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is conducting a statutorily mandated fifteen-business-day advertisement for an intended single-source procurement of Lake Guard® Oxy Water Treatment under solicitation number 2026SS012, with a response deadline of June 17, 2026. This is not a competitive bid or proposal process but a notice required under Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3) of the Florida Statutes to allow for public input and verification of single-source justification. The procurement is intended exclusively from BlueGreen Water Technologies because Lake Guard® Oxy is a trademarked product uniquely produced, marketed, and distributed by that entity, and it is the only algicide available on the market that remains buoyant after application, enabling more effective mitigation of harmful algal blooms using lower concentrations of active ingredients. The estimated contract value is $7,475,000 for a one-time purchase, with performance to occur across Florida. The product is classified under NAICS code 12165200, Water Treatment. Prospective vendors are invited to submit information regarding their ability to supply the product, and the agency will determine in writing whether the commodity is obtainable only from the single source. All communication regarding this procurement must be directed to Kimberly Bowling at the Florida DEP, with contact details provided via email, telephone, and physical address. No formal contract clauses, inspection procedures, packaging requirements, or evaluation factors have been defined at this stage, as this notice serves solely as a pre-award statutory advertisement to support compliance with Florida procurement law.
