Submit your response through OpenGov before the deadline. Plan to finish the submission early enough to address any portal or document issues.
Who this opportunity may suit
This opportunity may suit chemical suppliers that can provide 50% sodium hydroxide and arrange bulk deliveries to the COSME plant and mini-bulk deliveries to the two St. Petersburg pump stations.
