Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. is registered to transact business in Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) and Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D are not applicable because this is a furnish and deliver contract available from one source.

Funds are available in Account 101-67000-634650.
