RUNWAY DEICER

The Pease Development Authority (PDA) announced a solicitation for the supply of runway deicing chemicals – a liquid potassium‑acetate based fluid and a solid anhydrous sodium formate – to support airport operations at the former Pease Air Force Base area. Vendors were required to meet FAA‑approved specifications, provide independent laboratory certifications, and deliver the products on a rapid‑response schedule (within 24‑48 hours of order). The contract was to be non‑exclusive, initially for one year with up to three optional extensions, and awarded to the lowest total cost responsive bidder. However, an addendum issued on November 17 2025 canceled this solicitation and indicated it will be re‑issued under a new reference number (RFB 26‑13A). • Required products: FAA‑spec fluid (SAE AMS 1435D) and solid (SAE AMS 1431E). • Delivery locations: Portsmouth International Airport (fluid) and Pease International Tradeport (solid). • Technical documentation: laboratory certifications, toxicity, nitrate content, BOD reports, MSDS, etc. • Contract terms: non‑exclusive, 1‑year base term, up to three 1‑year extensions, insurance, indemnification, and 120‑day bid validity.
