Supply and Delivery of Road Salt for Winter Maintenance

The Texas Department of Transportation is seeking a subcontractor to procure, transport, and deliver bulk rock salt for winter maintenance operations on designated highway segments within Pecos County. The salt will be used exclusively for anti-icing and de-icing purposes to ensure safe roadway conditions during winter weather events. The contract requires timely and reliable delivery logistics to meet operational needs, with performance expected to align with the state’s winter maintenance standards. The solicitation is open for bids until August 11, 2026, and the NAICS code 325998 indicates the scope involves other chemical product manufacturing, consistent with the handling and supply of road-grade salt. The contract is classified as a subcontract under the Texas SmartBuy procurement system, and while no set-aside preferences are specified, all bidders must comply with the state’s requirements for quality, quantity, and delivery timelines. The place of performance is limited to Pecos County, and the salt must be delivered to designated storage or operational sites as directed by the Texas Department of Transportation. Bidders are expected to demonstrate capacity to handle large volumes, ensure consistent product quality, and maintain logistical reliability under variable weather conditions. Interested parties must respond through the provided Texas SmartBuy portal before the deadline to be considered for award.
