The contract is structured as a Blanket Purchase Agreement with FOB shipping terms and immediate payment terms, and the State of Missouri will not pay for software components until implementation of those components has been initiated. No specific award date or budget range is provided in the solicitation documents, though the contract includes annual renewal options extending through fiscal year 2030.
