About this opportunity
The Greater Rockford Airport Authority is seeking bids for a liquid de-icing compound through Invitation to Bid #25-29, specifically targeting a Sodium Acetate/Formate Blend for airfield use. The procurement is focused on a twelve-month contract period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with bids due on September 17, 2025, at 9:00 AM. The required de-icing compound must meet AMS 1431 certification, containing 20-30% Anhydrous Sodium Acetate and 70-80% Sodium Formate Blend, with granule sizes between 2.0 - 5.6mm and a bulk density of 53-56 lbs/ft3. Deliverables include packaging in 2205 lb (1000 kg) Super Sacks, with delivery FOB to the airport's storage facility and mandatory comprehensive on-site staff training. Evaluation criteria will encompass adherence to specifications, pricing, bidder qualifications, past performance, delivery time, product quality, maintenance costs, and warranty provisions. Historical usage data indicates the airport has used approximately 13,210 to 124,000 pounds of de-icing compound in recent winter seasons.
The bid requires vendors to maintain a minimum commercial liability insurance policy of $1,000,000 and name the Greater Rockford Airport Authority as an additional insured. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, bidders must comply with various state and federal regulations, including non-discrimination policies and drug-free workplace requirements. Electronic bid submissions are permitted through BidNet, which may expand accessibility for potential vendors. The procurement covers Washington County, Illinois, and is open to qualified vendors who can meet the stringent technical specifications and regulatory requirements. Though an exact award value is not specified, the historical usage volumes suggest a potentially significant contract value, with potential annual procurement ranging from approximately $50,000 to $250,000 depending on winter conditions and compound pricing. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate technical competence, financial stability, and the ability to meet the airport's precise de-icing compound specifications.
