April Meats

The State of Missouri Department of Corrections is conducting a competitive solicitation (IFBC30034901901640) for April meat products to be delivered to multiple correctional facilities statewide. This Invitation for Bid (IFBC) seeks vendors to supply various meat products with specific delivery requirements and specifications. The procurement is structured as a competitive bid opportunity open from February 14, 2019, at 4:00 PM CST through February 28, 2019, at 2:00 PM CST. Vendors must submit comprehensive bid responses, including completed pricing pages and Exhibits A through E, which can be submitted either as hard copies to the Division of Purchasing or electronically through the MissouriBUYS system. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms set at Net 45 days after delivery. Bidders must carefully complete all required documentation, with Kelsey Huwe from the Division of Purchasing in Jefferson City serving as the primary contact point for potential questions.

The solicitation is open to all vendors without any specified set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there are no detailed requirements regarding existing infrastructure or technology integration. The documentation does not specify an estimated total contract value or budget range for this procurement. The bid emphasizes vendor responsibility for thorough review of all solicitation documents and attachments to ensure full compliance with bid requirements. Vendors must pay particular attention to accurately completing pricing pages, which will be critical for bid evaluation and potential award consideration. The procurement process appears to be a standard competitive bidding approach focused on securing meat product supplies for Missouri's correctional facilities, with an emphasis on comprehensive and accurate bid submissions.
