View moreThe Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking the procurement of bulk granular water softener salt for water treatment at the James A. Haley facility. This requirement is categorized under NAICS 325998: All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing and PSC 9620: Minerals, Natural and Synthetic. The salt must be provided in granular form rather than powder and must meet the specifications outlined in the Statement of Need to support water softening processes.
