About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document providing clarifications on delivery and logistics requirements for a road salt procurement at Scott Air Force Base. The document addresses critical operational details for contractors submitting quotations under Solicitation FA440726Q8004, which seeks 1,000 tons of road salt with delivery required by October 23, 2026, using tandem-axle dump trucks due to overhead-clearance restrictions at the storage facility.
Key logistics clarifications include: trucks may dump salt inside the storage building if dimensions permit; otherwise, the Government will push material inside from an outside unloading area. The storage building is located on the southeastern boundary of Scott AFB off South Drive. Drivers must enter through the commercial inspection gate located off Route 161 on the southwest side of the base (approximately 1.5 miles from the delivery site, between IL Routes 4 and 158) and may exit via either the Shiloh or Belleville gate depending on destination proximity. All drivers are required to possess a REAL ID for base entry; driver names must be submitted for prequalification before deliveries commence. Escorts will be provided from the gate to the facility during deliveries. Delivery windows are restricted to 0600-1400 hours, Monday through Friday only, with no deliveries on weekends or federal holidays. This small business set-aside procurement (NAICS 325998) is a FY27 requirement with funds anticipated around October 1, though no award will be made until funding is available.

Q: The solicitation states that delivery must be made using tandem-axle dump trucks due to overhead-clearance restrictions at the storage facility. Could you please confirm whether the delivery drivers will be required to back into the storage facility and dump the road salt inside the storage area, or whether the Government will designate an outside unloading area where the trucks can dump the material and depart? We would also appreciate any available information regarding the delivery location, gate-entry procedures, unloading requirements, or coordination needed before each truck arrives.
A: If the trucks aren’t too big, it can be dumped inside. If not, they can be dumped outside, and the government will push them inside. Scott AFB has a commercial gate that can be utilized for oversized vehicles.
Q: We would also appreciate any available information regarding the delivery location, gate-entry procedures, unloading requirements, or coordination needed before each truck arrives.
