Vendors must submit sealed hard copy bids to the DOC Purchasing Section in Jefferson City, Missouri, with the bid period running from January 27, 2022, to February 24, 2022, at 2:00 PM CST. The contract will be established on an as-needed basis, with vendors required to complete and submit Exhibits A, B, and F, along with the IFB cover page.

No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The solicitation covers jurisdictions within the state of Missouri, specifically including Clark County and Jefferson City, but does not provide details about the total estimated contract value or budget range.
