POLYMER NEEDED FOR WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT SLUDGE THICKENING PROCESS

The City of Espanola has issued a notice of intent for a sole-source purchase from Polydyne, Inc. for the procurement of CLARIFLOC C-6220/C-6266 polymer. This specialized polymer is required for the sludge thickening process within a dewatering centrifuge at the local waste water treatment plant. The intended contract value is 38,000 dollars, covering a performance period from November 7, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The procurement is justified under NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-126 because the required materials are patented and proprietary. Lab testing indicated that the specific formulation provided by Polydyne is unique, and alternative vendors were unable to match the necessary dosing performance or lacked the authorization to sell the patented product. As this is a notice of intent and the contract is not yet executed, alternative sources may be submitted within 15 calendar days of the notice.
