Broadcloth Fabric QVL

The Missouri Department of Corrections and Missouri Vocational Enterprises have issued an Invitation for Bid (IFBC30034901901821) for a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) to procure broadcloth fabric for various clothing factories throughout the state. This solicitation seeks vendors capable of supplying broadcloth fabric that meets specific product specifications detailed in paragraphs 3.9 and 3.10 of the solicitation document. The procurement is structured as a QVL, meaning pricing will be requested from qualified contractors at the time the agency needs to make purchases, rather than establishing fixed pricing upfront. The solicitation period runs from March 4, 2019, at 2:00 PM CST through March 25, 2019, at 3:00 PM CDT, with vendors required to submit completed exhibits, including Exhibit A, either electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or via hard copy to the Division of Purchasing. Vendors must ensure they meet all product specifications and are prepared to fulfill fabric orders as needed by the state's clothing factories. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Jennie Rees from the Missouri Office of Administration, who can be reached at 573-751-6442 or jennie.rees@oa.mo.gov.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation, and there are no details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation provides payment terms of Net 45 Days with Free On Board Destination delivery terms, but does not disclose an estimated total contract value or specific budget range. All vendors are eligible to participate, and the procurement is open to any supplier capable of meeting the broadcloth fabric specifications. While the exact financial scope is not defined, the QVL structure suggests flexibility in future fabric procurement for the Missouri Department of Corrections' various clothing factories. Vendors should be prepared to provide fabric as needed, with the understanding that actual purchase quantities and values will be determined at the time of each specific order.
