A Single Source Procurement is a purchase that is directed to one (1) source because of standardization, warranty, or other factors, which for justifiable reasons, is found to be most advantageous for, even though other competitive sources may be available.

intends to negotiate and award a Single Source Procurement for Bio-Solid Treatment Equipment and Services to BCR Environmental Corporation. Clay County Utility Authority (CCUA) operates proprietary biosolids treatment systems manufactured and supplied by BCR Environmental Corporation (BCR). The systems utilize BCR’s patented Neutralizer® technology to treat wastewater residuals and produce Class AA biosolids. CCUA installed the Neutralizer® systems at its water reclamation facilities from 2006 to the present day. These systems are integrated into CCUA’s existing wastewater treatment operations and are specifically configured around BCR’s proprietary treatment process, controls, and equipment. BCR Environmental Corporation is the original manufacturer and provider of the Neutralizer® technology currently installed and operating at CCUA’s wastewater treatment facilities. The patented technology incorporates specialized equipment, process controls, operating parameters, and treatment methodologies developed by BCR. Accordingly, the requested products and services are specific to the existing BCR systems and require manufacturer-dependent knowledge and expertise. As the original manufacturer, BCR possesses the proprietary process information, technical knowledge, and specialized expertise necessary to support, maintain, troubleshoot, and ensure the continued operation of the installed systems. Utilizing an alternate provider for proprietary system components, specialized maintenance, or technical support could result in equipment compatibility issues, compromise system performance, affect treatment reliability, and potentially jeopardize CCUA’s ability to maintain applicable biosolids treatment and regulatory requirements. Furthermore, transitioning the existing systems to an alternative provider or treatment technology could require substantial equipment modifications, additional capital investment, operational changes, and potential service interruptions. Based on the proprietary nature of the installed Neutralizer® technology and the manufacturerspecific products and services required to maintain and support the existing systems, BCR Environmental Corporation is designated as a single source, but not a sole source, for the specific proprietary products and manufacturer-dependent services identified in this justification. This designation is limited to those products and services that are dependent upon BCR’s proprietary technology and expertise. Any separable goods or services that are not manufacturer-specific should remain subject to applicable CCUA procurement requirements.

Responses are due November 16, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST.
