Cement supply is specified to ASTM C150 for portland and C595 for blended cement, and a supplier that does not read the type and certification is quoting the wrong product.
What cement requirements set
Cement is furnished to ASTM C150 for portland cement and C595 for blended hydraulic cement, with the type, the supplementary materials, and the certification set in the specifications. The solicitation sets the cement type, the quantities, and the certifications the supplier must furnish.
Why cement scope is easy to miss
The required cement type, the blended versus portland distinction, and the certifications sit in the specifications, not the title. A supplier that misreads the type quotes the wrong product or one that does not meet the durability requirement.
