RUNWAY DEICER

The original RFB 26‑13 sought qualified vendors to supply FAA‑approved runway deicing chemicals (a potassium‑acetate fluid and an anhydrous sodium‑formate solid) for the Pease Development Authority’s airport facilities. The solicitation outlined detailed environmental and technical specifications, required certification, and stipulated rapid delivery windows (24 hr for fluid, 48 hr for solid). The contract was to be a one‑year term with up to three optional extensions, and the award was to be based on the lowest total cost meeting all qualifications. However, an Addendum issued on Nov 17 2025 cancelled this solicitation and announced that a new solicitation will be issued under reference RFB 26‑13A. No new technical requirements, deadlines, or contact details have been provided yet. • Original scope: supply of runway deicing fluid (≈12,000 gal) and solid (≈30 tons) meeting FAA SAE 1435D and SAE 1431E standards. • Delivery locations: Portsmouth International Airport (fluid) and Pease International Tradeport (solid). • Original contract term: 1 year with up to three one‑year extensions; rapid delivery (24‑48 hr). • Current status: cancelled; re‑issuance pending (RFB 26‑13A). • Vendor must meet strict environmental, corrosion‑inhibition, and certification requirements; insurance and indemnity clauses are standard for PDA contracts.
