The Pease Development Authority (PDA) announced a solicitation for the supply of runway deicing chemicals – a liquid potassium‑acetate based fluid and a solid anhydrous sodium formate – to support airport operations at the former Pease Air Force Base area. Vendors were required to meet FAA‑approved specifications, provide independent laboratory certifications, and deliver the products on a rapid‑response schedule (within 24‑48 hours of order).
