The Arriba-Venada-Cheyenne-Arapaho Consolidated School District (AVCF) in Colorado issued a competitive quote request for water softener salt on May 6, 2015, with quotation reference number 15AV081. The procurement seeks 150 bags of extra coarse grain, pure salt in either 40 or 50-pound kraft bags, guaranteed safe for all water softener applications. Vendors must specify the brand and packaging, with acceptable brands including United Brand, North American, or equal products meeting the specified requirements. All pricing must be submitted on a FOB Destination basis with prepaid freight, fuel surcharges, and all additional fees included in the unit cost, eliminating any hidden charges to the district. Quotations were required to be submitted via fax no later than May 11, 2015, at 9:00 AM, with anticipated delivery on or before June 1, 2015, to the AVCF Warehouse located at 12750 Highway 96, Lane 13, Ordway, Colorado 81034. Vendors must provide complete company information, including name, address, telephone, fax, email, and FEIN number as part of their quote submission.

The solicitation document does not specify set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other restricted vendor categories, indicating this is an open competitive procurement available to all qualified suppliers. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The procurement does not reference any existing infrastructure, technology systems, or integration requirements beyond the standard delivery specifications to the identified warehouse location. The budget value or award amount is not disclosed in the solicitation materials provided, though the relatively modest quantity of 150 bags suggests this is a routine consumables purchase for the school district's facilities maintenance operations.
