Municipal water chemical bid intelligence. See the lane before you bid.
Per-chemical price distribution from awarded U.S. municipal bids, IFB timing for every state you sell into, and the regulatory pressure that forecasts where forced demand lands. The plain-data alternative to H2bid; the operating-data alternative to Bluefield Research; built for chemical suppliers.

Price distribution
p10, p25, median, p75, p90 per chemical x state. Sourced from awarded bids, not list prices. You learn where your quotes sit against the cohort.
Bid timing
Typical solicitation month, mean lead time, per-quarter share of annual volume. Plan account coverage around when buyers are actually in the market.
Regulatory pressure
Composite 0-to-100 pressure score per lane, with the consent decrees, pending rules, and contaminants driving demand for your chemical. Forecast forced demand months ahead.
How we compare
Two tools chemical suppliers already use sit on either side of us. H2bid is the public bid listing service; Bluefield Research is the analyst firm publishing quarterly market outlooks. We built the surface between them.

Pricing
Coming soon$1,500 to $3,000 per month, depending on seat count and lane breadth. 3-month minimum commitment, monthly billing. We do not run cancel-to-retain games: cancellation requests after the lock-end date are honored within one business day at [email protected]. Before the lock-end date, an early-termination request gets a real conversation, not a chatbot.
The lock-in lets us invest in the corpus you are paying us to keep current. A typical chemical-pillar supplier pays back the annual cost on the first lane decision the report changes.
Paid chemical tiers open Q3 2026. Until then, request access and we will scope an early-customer engagement.
What we do not do
- We do not name buyers per award. The supplier surface is aggregate by chemical and region. Per-muni record access is the municipality’s decision via peer pricing.
- We do not auto-renew at higher prices. Renewals stay at the rate you signed at unless you choose to upgrade. Operator-set rule.
- We do not call buyers on your behalf. This is intelligence, not lead-gen. You run your own account outreach off the timing and pressure signals.
AI Utility Campus siting
Where new chlor-alkali capacity could co-locate with hyperscale compute
Ranks every municipality on how well it can host a co-located AI data center, desalination plant, and sodium-based chlor-alkali plant. For chemical operators planning new capacity, the ranking surfaces the candidate sites where local muni offtake and freight economics align. The per-muni report shows nearest existing chlor-alkali distance, local caustic and hypochlorite procurement rank, plus the four-pillar suitability composite.
Free national ranking. Per-muni deep-dive on the chemical or P3 subscription.
See it for your lane
The public sample shows the full report shape on a representative lane, no sign-in required. The live per-lane surface is behind the chemical-pillar subscription and lists every chemical the corpus tracks.
Subscribers can jump straight to any lane: sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, lime. Sign-in required.
Common questions
Where does Water Hawk get the chemical procurement pricing data?
Awarded municipal bid records from U.S. public water utilities. Sources include PennBid (Bonfire), H2bid, Higher Gov, DemandStar, BidNet, CivicPlus, and direct municipal portals. Records are normalized into 17 standardized chemical lanes (sodium hypochlorite, ferric sulfate, sodium bisulfite, polyaluminum chloride, etc.). Award price, contract length, awardee, and source URL are captured per record.
What chemicals are tracked?
17 lanes covering disinfection (sodium hypochlorite, chlorine gas, calcium hypochlorite), coagulation (ferric sulfate, alum, polyaluminum chloride), corrosion control (orthophosphate, zinc orthophosphate), pH adjustment (caustic soda, soda ash), fluoridation, PFAS treatment, advanced oxidation, and polymer categories.
How is the pricing intelligence delivered?
Per-lane benchmarks show p10, p25, median, p75, p90 award prices per chemical-state combination. IFB calendar surfaces upcoming and recurring procurements per buyer. Supplier-share concentration shows lane-level competitive structure. Regulatory pressure overlays map federal compliance deadlines (Lead and Copper Rule revisions, PFAS MCL, AWIA Section 2013) onto your target geographies.
What is the commitment?
Three-month minimum, monthly billing. No auto-renew tricks. Cancellation requests after the lock-end date are honored within one business day at [email protected]. The lock-in funds the corpus you are paying us to keep current.
Can I sample before subscribing?
Yes. /sample-bid-brief renders a redacted bid record showing the depth of the data. The full subscription unlocks utility names, exact award values, document indexes, and the lane-price benchmarks behind each record.
