Chemical Products Qualified Vendor List - Additional Vendors

The State of Missouri, Office of Administration, Division of Purchasing, is soliciting competitive sealed proposals to add vendors to a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for chemical products supply to the Eastern Reception & Diagnostic Correctional Center Chemical Factory in Bonne Terre, Missouri, on behalf of the Department of Corrections and Missouri Vocational Enterprises, with proposals due September 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time (Amendment No. 01 extended the original September 11 deadline).

A 10 percent Domestic Products Procurement Act (Buy American) preference applies to qualifying vendors. Vendors must certify manufacturing origin under Missouri Revised Statutes sections 34.350–34.359, with products eligible for preference if manufactured or produced in the United States, imported under an existing international trade treaty affording equivalent status, or if only one U.S. manufacturer produces the particular product line. Bonus points are available for Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises and Organizations for the Blind/Sheltered Workshops.

Vendors supply chemical products on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed order quantities. All pricing must be firm and fixed, FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed, with products new and palletized on wooden pallets, delivered unloaded. Historical annual spending across fiscal years 2023–2026 ranges from approximately $29,000 to $122,000. The contract period extends from award through March 9, 2027, with the state retaining the right to renew for two additional one-year periods.

Vendors must achieve "Approved" registration status in MissouriBUYS (WebProcure/Proactis) and "Spend Authorized" status in MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS. Business compliance requirements include Missouri tax compliance certification, Missouri Secretary of State business registration, Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act certification for companies with ten or more employees, and employee conflict-of-interest documentation. Proposals must be submitted electronically through MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS. The state will request written quotes from all awarded QVL contractors for specific line items, evaluating quotes based on price and applicable preference considerations.
