Early Ordering of Snow and Ice Melting Products

In preparation for the winter season, postal sites should review their stock of snow and ice melting products and ensure orders are placed in a timely manner. Our strategic partner and national contract supplier, High Country Chem­ical Supplies, Inc., has identified three distinct geographic zones across the United States. These zones indicate rec­ommended product lines and related pricing. Please refer to the Material Logistics Bulletin MLB-CO-02-001, http://blue.usps.gov/purchase/_pdf/ops_mlb02-001.pdf, for zones and ordering and product information.

Please place your order through eBuy. eBuy pricing reflects a 5 percent discount for all snow and ice melting products ordered by October 20 as well as additional dis­counts for larger quantities.

Products should be ordered in accordance with the zone prefix where the receiving office is located. To order products listed under a different zone or to share truckload quantity discounts, please contact Chris Guimarin of High Country at 303-228-1499. You may also contact High Country for more detailed product descriptions and for application guidance.
