Three vendors were awarded lots: SaltCo (primary for Lot A, secondary for Lot B), Step Saver (primary for Lot B, secondary for Lot A), and Midwest Salt (Lot C). BSL serves as the distribution hub for tax-supported government units including the University of Wisconsin system, public schools, and state, county, and local agencies.

The contract covers water softener salt purchases by bag, block, pallet, and truckload with pneumatic delivery options. The initial term runs from February 1, 2025, through January 31, 2028, with two one-year renewal options extending through January 31, 2030.

State purchasing cards are accepted, and BSL maintains monthly delivery schedules coordinated across Wisconsin. Product pricing is available through Vendornet, and waivers from the mandatory contract requirement must be requested through the contract manager when BSL cannot provide necessary items.
