Aluminum QVL

The State of Missouri's Division of Purchasing has issued a Request for Proposal - Commodity (RFPC) numbered RFPC30034902101188 to establish a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for aluminum suppliers. The solicitation seeks to identify and pre-qualify vendors capable of providing aluminum materials to the state as needed. The procurement process opened on March 24, 2021, and will close on April 15, 2021, at 3:00:00 PM CDT. Vendors must submit their responses either electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or as hard copies to the Division of Purchasing. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Tunde (April) Howser, who can be reached at 573-751-2497 or april.howser@oa.mo.gov. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination with Net 45 Days payment terms. The solicitation appears to be structured as an open-ended procurement to create a pool of approved aluminum suppliers that the state can utilize for future purchases, without specifying exact quantities or detailed technical specifications.

The solicitation does not mention any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, indicating the opportunity is open to all vendors regardless of size, classification, or ownership status. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there are no details about existing infrastructure or technology that might require integration. Notably, the documentation does not include an estimated total contract value, award value, or budget range. Vendors are required to review and accept all requirements detailed in the solicitation documents, complete any applicable exhibits, and attach them to their bid submissions. The lack of specific line items or evaluation criteria suggests the state is primarily focused on establishing a flexible and comprehensive list of qualified aluminum suppliers to meet potential future procurement needs.
