Barber Supplies and Accessories

The Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation number IFB931Y19708295 for the purchase and delivery of barber supplies and accessories on an as-needed basis for the Division of Adult Institutions. The procurement covers multiple jurisdictions including Clark County and Jefferson City, seeking competitive bids from prospective vendors to establish a contract for barber-related products. Vendors must quote a single firm fixed percentage discount to be applied to their Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) list/catalog price for the supplies. The bid period runs from February 4, 2019, at 3:00 PM CST to March 5, 2019, at 2:00 PM CST, with bids to be submitted either as hard copies to the DOC Purchasing Section in Jefferson City or electronically through the MissouriBUYS system. Vendors are required to complete and sign Exhibits A, B, and F, along with the IFB cover page and any addendum cover pages. The evaluation criteria will focus on the highest firm fixed percentage discount offered, with payment terms set at Net 45 Days and delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, indicating the bid is open to all vendors without preference or limitation. No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and there are no apparent requirements for specific business classifications or disadvantaged enterprise participation. The documentation does not provide an estimated total contract value or budget range, nor does it outline specific infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The contract will be established on an as-needed basis for the Division of Adult Institutions, with potential usage by the specified jurisdictions. While some versions of the solicitation suggest a potential twelve-month contract period with options to renew for up to four additional one-year periods, other documents do not explicitly confirm this detail. Vendors should be prepared to provide a comprehensive range of barber supplies and accessories, with the ability to offer a competitive discount structure against their standard pricing.
