Bomford Forestry Head Attachment

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), Kansas City District, has issued a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for the procurement of Bomford Flailbot Forestry Mulching Head(s) and Blade(s). The department has determined that S&H Farm Supply is the sole source capable of providing these specialized forestry equipment items. The solicitation, identified by the number SFS605KC23001653, was posted on January 10, 2023, with responses due by January 23, 2023, at 2:00 PM CST. The contract period will span twelve months from the Notice to Proceed, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination and Net 30 Days payment terms. Vendors are required to submit their responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system, with payment to be made in full after completion of all deliveries and receipt of a correct invoice, and no partial payments will be permitted.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with aspirational goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements. For purchases exceeding $25,000, the Buy American Act provisions apply, offering a 10% price preference for goods manufactured or produced in the United States. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is structured as a single feasible source contract due to the proprietary nature of the Bomford equipment. MoDOT is exempt from paying Missouri Sales Tax, Missouri Use Tax, and Federal Excise Tax, and vendors should price their proposals accordingly. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission reserves the right to reject any and all bids and will make the final determination of the contract award based on the lowest and best bid that meets all mandatory requirements.
