1. Introduction: Scientists at the Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center

2. Scope: The Contractor shall provide pasture salt in the description and quantity listed.

3. Technical Requirements:

• Product: Pasture Salt {160 Tons)

• USMARC is anticipating 160 tons of pasture salt will be needed until 11/1/2022, with a minimum amount of 25 tons/month.

• US MARC can't take upfront delivery of the whole contracted amount, so receiving pasture salt every month will last the entire duration of the contract (April through
