MEMO DOR 0000000049SL.pdf

This is a memorandum from the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) justifying the use of competitive proposal methodology for the solicitation of office management services related to license office operations. The Department of Revenue, under authority granted by SDA537 and in accordance with section 34.042, RSMo, has determined that competitive bidding would be neither practicable nor advantageous for this procurement. The solicitation seeks office management services; however, the document does not specify quantities, response dates, due dates, site visits, bidders' meetings, award dates, or contract term details. The memorandum is dated June 1, 2026, and is signed by Governor Mike Kehoe, Director of Revenue Trish Vincent, and Division Director Joshua Shope.

The memorandum does not address pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, funding amounts or sources, or other financial requirements. The Department of Revenue selected the competitive proposal method because the complex requirements of the solicitation justify this approach over standard competitive bidding. This methodology is expected to maximize the state's potential to receive flexible and creative solutions from vendors and enable Missouri to select the solution providing the optimal combination of price and quality.
