Rental of purified drinking water bottles and hot/cold spill-proof dispensers for LA County Library locations

The LA County Library, a public library in California located at 12350 Imperial Hwy, Norwalk, CA, procured purified drinking water in 5-gallon bottles and rented seven hot/cold spill-proof electric water cooler dispensers for multiple library and government center locations. The award was given to BLUETRITON BRANDS INC. The purchase includes delivering two five-gallon purified water bottles weekly per site and leasing seven electric water coolers installed at seven sites: LA County Library Headquarters (LHQ Annex 1, 2, and 3 in Downey), Norwalk Government Center rooms 110 B, 140, and 111 B, and Montebello Library basement (shipping room and maintenance office). This procurement was due to HVAC issues at the library headquarters and covers rental fees at $1.99 per month for the period July 1, 2025, through January 31, 2026, with extensions of previous requests noted. Contacts for each location include Ed Ramos, Luis Garnica, Jose Cardenas, Mike Gomez, Wendy, Amy, Caroline, Michael Gomez, Frank Espinoza, James Starr, Anthony Granados, and Sandra Romo. The primary NAICS code relevant to this purchase is 424490 (Other Grocery and Related Products Merchant Wholesalers). Likely competitors could include companies specializing in bottled water and water cooler rentals such as Culligan, Nestlé Waters, or Crystal Springs.
