Drinking Water Filtration Services

The Eastern Services Category Management Center (CMC) in Windsor, Connecticut, has recently awarded a “Green Alternative” National Strategic Partnership Con­tract Award for Drinking Water Filtration Services (DWFS) to IBD/Alpine Coolers. The contract became effective October 1, 2008.

The contract includes the following items:

• Standard Water Filtration “SWF” Unit. This most economical filtration unit removes sediment and bad taste from municipal water sources.
• Reverse Osmosis “RO” Water Filtration Unit. This less economical, but best filtration unit removes sed­iment, bad taste, and high total dissolved solids from municipal water sources to 99.9 percent pure H₂O.
• Ultraviolet “UV” Disinfection Option. UV light pen­etrates incoming water to add additional bacteria protection.
• Ozone Water Disinfection Option. Ozone is injected into the holding tank to add additional bac­teria protection.
• Additional Filter Changes. These may be needed in high sediment/chemical geographical areas and must be approved by the contracting officer.

The supplies and services provided by the IBD/Alpine Coolers Contract# 2DMISC-08-B-0202 are available to the following postal areas: Headquarters, Great Lakes, Eastern, Northeast, New York Metro, Capital Metro, South­east, Southwest, Pacific, and Western areas.
