Acoustic Telemetry Equipment and Software

The State of Missouri, specifically the Missouri Department of Conservation, is conducting a Single Feasible Source-Commodity (SFSC) procurement for acoustic telemetry equipment and software. The solicitation seeks one unit of acoustic telemetry equipment with associated software to be delivered to two specific locations: the Open River Wetland Field Station in Cape Girardeau and the Hannibal Office. The solicitation period runs from December 14, 2022, to December 28, 2022, at 2:00 PM CST, with only invited vendors eligible to respond. Vendors must provide firm, fixed unit pricing for an initial contract period and three optional renewal periods, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination. The procurement requires electronic submission through the MissouriBUYS system, either electronically or via hard copy if permitted. Payment terms are set at Net 45 days, and vendors are prohibited from entering negative values in their bid responses.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no information provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure and technology that requires integration. The procurement documents do not disclose an estimated total value, budget range, or anticipated award value for this opportunity. The jurisdictions involved in this procurement include Cass County and Maries County in the state of Missouri. The solicitation does not include any predefined vendor questions or additional qualifications beyond the invitation-only requirement. The lack of detailed information suggests this is a specialized procurement with a specific, potentially sole-source vendor in mind for the acoustic telemetry equipment and software.
