The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities is accepting bids through May 7 for dust palliative materials to be delivered to airports in Chignik Lake and Karluk. The project is funded by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Bids are due at 2:00 p.m. Alaska time on May 7, 2026. The contract covers a one-time purchase and delivery of dust control materials to both communities, which are located on the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak Island.

Dust palliatives are materials applied to unpaved surfaces to reduce airborne dust. Both Chignik Lake and Karluk operate gravel airstrips that serve as critical transportation links for the remote communities.

Companies interested in bidding can download the solicitation documents from the state's online public notices website. Bidders must register with the procurement officer to receive any amendments to the solicitation. Failure to register may result in rejection of the bid.

The department has notified potential bidders that disadvantaged business enterprises will have full opportunity to submit bids and will not face discrimination based on race, color, or national origin.

Bidders with disabilities who need auxiliary aids or special modifications should contact the Division of Supply and Services at least 10 days before the bid opening.
