Contract value

$500,000

No contract value is disclosed. Powdered activated carbon is a high‑volume, specialty water‑treatment chemical; typical bulk purchases for a regional water authority can range from a few hundred thousand to several million dollars depending on quantity and frequency. Assuming the MDC requires several thousand tons over a multi‑year period, a reasonable ballpark estimate is roughly $500,000 for the initial award. This estimate factors in market prices for activated carbon (~$1,000‑$2,000 per ton) and the likely volume needed for multiple facilities.
