Bulk De-Icing Salt and Sand Supply

The contract calls for the supply and delivery of bulk de-icing materials including rock salt, brine, and sand to support snow and ice control operations at the Cass Lake site during the winter months. The materials are required to maintain safe travel and operational conditions on roads, parking areas, and other facilities under the jurisdiction of the USDA Forest Service in the Cass Lake area, with deliveries scheduled to coincide with winter weather events. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 424950, which pertains to wholesale trade of chemical and allied products, indicating the materials will be provided by a vendor contracted through another entity rather than directly by the federal agency. The solicitation was posted on August 7, 2026, with responses due by August 24, 2026, at 10:00 PM Eastern Time. The place of performance is specifically designated as Cass Lake, Minnesota, with a zip code of 56633, and all deliveries must be made to this location. The contract is part of a federal procurement process managed by the Department of Agriculture, though no set-aside designation is specified, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible contractors regardless of size or status. The vendor must ensure timely, consistent, and reliable delivery of materials in the quantities and quality required to meet the operational needs of the site throughout the winter season.
