Custom made 6250 GA. Highway tanker

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), specifically the Northwest District, is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for a custom-made 6,250-gallon highway tanker trailer. The solicitation, identified as SFS605NW18000460, seeks a specialized 1996 Walker stainless steel tanker with horizontal cylindrical configuration, to be used for multipurpose transportation tasks including hauling and spraying salt brine, flushing bridge gutters, and spraying roadside weeds. Baker Equipment Co. has been identified as the sole feasible source within a 100-mile radius capable of producing this highly specialized equipment. The solicitation was open from August 30, 2017, to September 6, 2017, with responses due by 11:00 AM CDT, and requires vendors to be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system. Delivery of the custom tanker is specified to the MoDOT facility located at 1301 Mitchell Ave in Chillicothe, Missouri, with responses accepted either electronically through MissouriBUYS or via hard copy submission.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations beyond the requirement of MissouriBUYS registration. No information was provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or incumbent vendor details. The estimated contract value is approximately $29,000, with payment terms set at Net 45 days. The procurement is being conducted under Missouri Code of State Regulation 7 CSR 10-11.020, which allows for non-competitive procurement when only one viable supplier exists within the specified geographic area. The contract is for a single unit of the custom tanker trailer, with no mentioned renewal options or additional procurement phases. The justification for the single feasible source determination is based on the proprietary nature of the equipment and Baker Equipment Co.'s unique capability to produce the specific custom-designed tanker trailer within the required geographic parameters.
