The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) under Solicitation Number MDT-316496-KB for sanding material to serve the Bozeman Area. This procurement seeks mobilization services and sanding material in quantities of either 4,500 tons or 3,000 cubic yards, with bidders permitted to submit proposals under either option. The solicitation opened on May 18, 2026, at 2:00 PM MDT, with a bid closing deadline of June 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM MDT. Interested vendors must respond through the eMACS platform, and all bidders are required to review and accept the IFB General Information, State of Montana contract terms and conditions, and MDT-specific terms and conditions prior to bid submission. Detailed specifications for the Bozeman 1A-Location sanding material are available in the buyer attachments, and the quantities listed are estimated figures. The primary contact for questions and clarifications is Richele Parkhurst at rparkhurst@mt.gov or (406) 546-8243, with questions to be directed to the Q&A Board.

Bids totaling $150,000 or greater must be accompanied by bid security equal to 10% of the total bid amount, and payment terms are Net 30 with 0% interest. All bidders must certify compliance with nondiscrimination provisions outlined in Montana Code Annotated 30-20-301, MCA, regarding firearm entities and trade associations. The procurement documentation does not identify specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendors, or current contractors, nor does it specify existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation does not provide a disclosed budget range or award value; however, the requirement for bid security on bids of $150,000 or greater suggests the anticipated contract value may fall within or exceed that threshold. Sealed bids will remain closed until the June 8, 2026, deadline, at which point they will be evaluated according to the criteria outlined in the IFB documents.
