McIntosh Power Plant Unit 5 Bulk Hydrogen Supply

Lakeland Electric is seeking bids for the supply of high-purity hydrogen, specifically 99% pure or better, to be delivered on a continuous, 24/7 basis throughout the year to support the operations of McIntosh Power Plant's Unit #5. The contract requires suppliers to provide pricing based on standard cubic feet and to be capable of delivering the product within 48 hours of an order. The estimated annual requirement is approximately 200,000 standard cubic feet, with on-site storage maintained at 2,000 psi to ensure uninterrupted supply. The initial contract term is one year, with up to four additional one-year renewal options, contingent upon mutual agreement. To ensure reliability, the owner plans to tier the award process, designating a primary supplier who offers the best price and qualifications, and a secondary supplier as a backup should the primary be unable to fulfill the demand. The solicitation, posted under number 2024-ITB-282 by Lakeland Production in Florida, emphasizes the importance of reputable and established suppliers capable of meeting the specified delivery timelines and quality standards. The contract size ranges from $100,000 to $300,000, reflecting the scope of the procurement. Interested vendors can contact Todd Glidewell via email or phone for further details or to submit their responses by the deadline of August 27, 2024.
