About this opportunity
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), a federally supported initiative designed to provide food packages to vulnerable populations in Clark County and Jefferson City. The program specifically targets low-income pregnant women, postpartum women, breastfeeding women, infants, children up to age 6, and elderly persons age 60 and over, with the primary objective of enhancing nutritional support for these demographics. The solicitation is structured as a single feasible source contract under Missouri statute 34.044 RSMo, with a clearly defined response period from May 20, 2024, at 10:00:00 AM CDT to May 28, 2024, at 2:00:00 PM CDT. Deliverables include the procurement and distribution of commodity food packages, with specific requirements for warehousing and handling large quantities of food in compliance with food industry standards and federal donated food program regulations. The primary contact for this solicitation is Janett Walker from the Department of Health and Senior Services in Jefferson City, and while the solicitation is technically open to all vendors, the unique qualifications required effectively limit participation.
The procurement is exclusively reserved for Missouri food banks, which are the only non-profit organizations authorized to operate the CSFP within their specific service areas, as mandated by federal regulations. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The solicitation does not provide details about incumbent vendors or existing contractors, nor does it specify integration requirements with current infrastructure or technology. Importantly, no estimated total contract value, budget range, or specific pricing terms are disclosed in the provided documents. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor. The solicitation has been designated as having no line items, and the contract will be awarded based on the unique capabilities of Missouri food banks to warehouse and handle large quantities of food in compliance with industry and federal standards.
Opportunity text
The Department of Health and Senior Services utilizes the CSFP to provide commodity food packages to low-income pregnant women, postpartum women, breastfeeding women, infants, children up to age 6, and elderly persons age 60 and over, to enhance nutrition for vulnerable Missourians. The Missouri food banks are the only feasible sources from which to acquire the Commodity Supplemental Food Program since they are the only non-profit organizations in their specific service areas and, per Federal regulation, only non-profit organizations may operate the CSFP. In addition, the Missouri food banks have the unique capacity to warehouse and handle large quantities of food in compliance with food industry standards and the requirements of the Federal donated food programs. As a result, this meets the criteria as a single feasible source under section 34.044, RSMo.
