Blanket Order for Bulk Road Salt (Sodium Chloride) for Campus De-Icing

NC State University seeks to establish one or more blanket orders for bulk road salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) to de-ice campus roadways and sidewalks. The resulting contract will run for one year from the date of award with no renewals, and the university guarantees no quantities or dollar amounts because purchases depend on inclement weather. Bidders must certify that neither they nor their principals are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from covered transactions by any federal or state agency. Suppliers must submit questions by November 17, 2026, at 12:00 PM, and must register and upload their completed quote form as a PDF to the Bonfire Public Portal by November 23, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The university will evaluate qualified bids as directed by statute and may require and contact a list of users of the exact item offered to determine bid acceptability. NC State University reserves the right to make partial, progressive, or multiple awards.
