De-Icing Material Supply and Delivery

The contract seeks suppliers to provide salt, brine, or other approved de-icing materials for winter snow operations across Boston’s Areas A–E, encompassing all required storage, logistics, and timely delivery to ensure road safety during snow events. The work is part of the city’s public works infrastructure, managed by the 311 - Public Works Department, with performance strictly bound to Boston’s geographic boundaries, specifically identified by the ZIP code 02201. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 424950, indicating it targets wholesale trade of agricultural supplies, and is classified as a subcontract, meaning it is likely intended for vendors to support broader municipal contracts rather than be awarded directly to end users. Interested parties must submit responses by July 9, 2026, at 4:00 PM, following a posting date of June 22, 2026, allowing a three-week window for preparation. The contract does not specify any set-aside program or restrictions for small, minority-owned, or disadvantaged businesses, and no point of contact is listed, suggesting all inquiries must be directed through the official procurement portal linked in the notice. Successful bidders will be expected to maintain operational readiness, ensure material quality standards, and coordinate delivery schedules seamlessly with city snow response timelines, with no provision for partial fulfillment or regional exceptions.
