MEMO DOR-FY25-0029-SL.pdf

This is a memorandum from the Missouri Department of Revenue documenting the justification for using competitive proposals rather than competitive bidding for the procurement of Office Management Services under solicitation DOR-FY25-0029-SL. The memorandum, dated June 12, 2025, is signed by Governor Mike Kehoe, Director of Revenue Trish Vincent, and Division Director Joshua Shope. The Department of Revenue determined that the complex requirements of the Office Management Services solicitation necessitate the use of competitive proposals as the procurement method, which is authorized under SDA537 and Section 34.042, RSMo. The competitive proposal method is intended to enable the State to receive flexible and creative solutions from vendors while allowing selection of the proposal offering the optimal combination of price and quality. The memorandum does not specify response dates, due dates, site visits, bidders' meetings, award dates, contract terms, renewal options, or other operational details of the solicitation.

The memorandum does not include pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, funding amounts, or other financial details regarding the procurement. As a justification document rather than the full solicitation, the memorandum provides only the administrative rationale for the procurement method selection without addressing the substantive scope of work, deliverables, or contractual requirements for the Office Management Services.
