The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, awarded a $67.5K purchase order to Kadaj Alliance L.L.C., a women-owned small business, on December 12, 2025, for the delivery of bulk de-icing rock salt to the Lebanon VA Medical Center in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. This total small business set-aside contract requires the delivery of approximately 500 tons of sodium chloride rock salt in 22–25 ton increments on an as-needed basis through May 31, 2026. The rock salt must meet specific technical specifications including anti-caking agents, effectiveness to -10 degrees Fahrenheit, and maximum 1% water content, with all shipments subject to inspection and weigh verification. Deliveries must occur within three to seven business days of order receipt during standard business hours, Monday through Friday, with the contractor bearing transportation costs on a FOB Destination basis.

Kadaj Alliance L.L.C., headquartered in Albany, California, is a certified Women-Owned Small Business and Economically Disadvantaged Women Small Owned Business with an established track record of providing infrastructure maintenance and specialized support services across multiple federal agencies, including the VA, U.S. Coast Guard, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The award was issued on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis following a competitive solicitation posted in October 2025 with a deadline of October 31, 2025. The government will only pay for salt actually requested and delivered, making this a performance-based contract aligned with operational de-icing requirements at the medical facility.
