Aluminum - Qualified Vendor Listing (QVL)

The State of Missouri, specifically the Division of Purchasing, has issued a Request for Proposal for Commodity (RFPC) to establish a Qualified Vendor Listing (QVL) for aluminum products for the Missouri Vocational Enterprises Jefferson City Correctional Center License Plate Factory. The solicitation, numbered RFPC30034902200013, seeks vendors capable of supplying aluminum materials to support the license plate manufacturing operations located at 8200 No More Victims Road in Jefferson City, Missouri. Vendors must complete and submit RFP/IFB Exhibits A-E as part of their response package, which will be evaluated by the state. The solicitation period runs from July 6, 2021, at 4:00 PM CDT through July 27, 2021, at 2:00 PM CDT, with submissions accepted either as hard copies to the Division of Purchasing or electronically through the MissouriBUYS system. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination to the license plate factory, and payment terms are set at Net 45 Days. The procurement contact is Ashley Hensley, who can be reached at 573-751-3331 or ashley.hensley@oa.mo.gov for any questions regarding the solicitation.

The solicitation is open to all vendors with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there are no details about existing infrastructure or technology that may require integration. The state has not specified any estimated contract value, budget ranges, or specific quantities of aluminum required. The lack of defined line items suggests the primary objective is to establish a pool of qualified aluminum suppliers rather than committing to specific purchase volumes. Vendors are solely responsible for ensuring timely submission of their responses and must carefully review and accept the solicitation documents under the Overview tab in the MissouriBUYS system.
