Bureau of Reclamation Posts Solicitation for Bulk Chemicals to Yuma Desalting Plant

A federal solicitation linked to the Bureau of Reclamation’s Lower Colorado Regional Office was posted on Jan. 21 for delivery of bulk chemicals to the Yuma Desalting Plant, a procurement that matters for plant operations and local contracting opportunities. The notice carries Solicitation/Notice ID 140R3026F0014 and identifies the contracting office as the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Regional Office in Boulder City, NV.

The posting lists NAICS 325180, Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing, and PSC Code 6810, Chemicals. The federal-opportunity record shows a Posted Date of 2026-01-21 and classifies the requirement as a delivery/award notice and a delivery-order opportunity for the Yuma Area Office and Yuma Desalting Plant operations. The notice indicates that full procurement details, including the statement of work, bid or award recipients, and pricing, are available on the official federal contracting portal under solicitation number 140R3026F0014.

For Yuma County residents and businesses, the immediate implications are both operational and economic. The Yuma Desalting Plant relies on a steady supply of bulk chemicals for its treatment and brine management activities, so timely delivery under federal contracts supports continuous operations that interlink with local irrigation and water management systems. Local chemical distributors, trucking firms, materials handlers, and industrial service contractors may find contracting or subcontracting opportunities tied to the award. Plant neighbors and transport routes should also watch for changes in delivery schedules or increased vehicle activity related to bulk chemical shipments.

The contracting office named in the notice, the Bureau of Reclamation’s Lower Colorado Regional Office, handles procurement for projects that serve a multi-state water infrastructure. Posting NAICS 325180 and PSC 6810 signals the federal classification of the work and helps filter interested suppliers. The dual designation as both a solicitation/award notice and a delivery-order opportunity suggests the government may secure a supplier and then place specific delivery orders under that arrangement.

What comes next for Yuma County is the award phase. Local vendors and stakeholders should consult the official federal contracting portal using solicitation number 140R3026F0014 to review the full requirements and follow any submission or question deadlines. When the award is announced, residents will be able to see which supplier will provide the chemicals and how that decision may affect plant operations, traffic patterns, and local contracting income.
