For road and deicing salt tenders, the lowest unit price alone is not a complete purchasing criterion. Specification, delivery capacity, winter response speed and field operations should be evaluated together.

Match the specification to operations

Granulation and other necessary criteria should fit spreading equipment and field conditions.

Verify delivery capacity

Daily or weekly capacity during peak winter events can be more important than nominal annual capacity.

Define storage and delivery format

Bulk, bagged or big-bag formats should fit site infrastructure.

Create an emergency-delivery scenario

The contract should define communication and priority procedures when severe weather creates additional demand.

Measure supplier performance

Quantity accuracy, on-time delivery and specification compliance can be tracked after the season.
