Indefinite Delivery Contract 15B41426D00000020

Gunther Salt Company, a small business manufacturer based in St. Louis, Missouri, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, effective November 1, 2025, through March 31, 2031. The contract, valued at $276,390.00 and designated as a total small business set-aside, procures bulk solar salt for water softening operations at the federal medical facility. The solicitation specifies the delivery of high-purity sodium chloride (exceeding 99.5%) via pneumatic transfer through a four-inch pipe to a brine tank located outside the facility's perimeter fence, with annual requirements estimated at 185 tons delivered across approximately eight shipments of 23-ton quantities per performance period. Gunther Salt Company must meet the specialized capability and equipment requirements necessary to execute pneumatic delivery to this specific location and maintain a three-business-day response time for delivery notifications.

The contract operates on a firm fixed price, Federal Object and Offering (FOB) destination basis, with a base performance period from November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2026, followed by four optional one-year renewal periods exercisable at the government's discretion. The funding agency, the Federal Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice, maintains the flexibility to accept partial deliveries of less than 21 tons based on available storage capacity at the facility, with compensation limited to actual quantities received. This procurement supports critical water treatment infrastructure at a federal medical facility and builds upon Gunther Salt Company's established track record delivering bulk salt products to federal correctional and medical facilities, including prior Indefinite Delivery Contract performance with the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana.
