Custom Software Training Program Services QVL - Department of Social Services

The Missouri Department of Social Services has issued a Request for Proposal (RFPT30034901900796) for Custom Software Training Program Services, seeking to establish a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for software training services. The procurement will cover a one-year base contract with three potential one-year renewal periods, serving the Department of Social Services and jurisdictions including Clay County and Jefferson City. The primary objective is to secure vendors capable of providing comprehensive custom software training program services, with specific focus on technical training and program implementation. A pre-proposal conference was scheduled for November 30, 2018, at 1:00 PM in Room 492 of the Harry Truman Building in Jefferson City, with proposal responses due by January 4, 2019, at 2:00 PM CST. Vendors can submit responses either electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or as hard copy to the Division of Purchasing. The solicitation includes extensive supporting documentation such as a Custom Software Training Workbook, IRS exhibits, MEDES Project Management Plan, Communication Management Plan, and Risks and Issues Management Plan. Payment terms are set at Net 45 Days with Free On Board Destination delivery terms.

The Request for Proposal does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, appearing to be open to all vendors who can meet the training service requirements. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and there are no explicit mentions of disadvantaged enterprise provisions. The solicitation does not provide an estimated total contract value or specific budget range for the training services. The procurement contact is Megan Howser from the State of Missouri, reachable at 573-751-1686 or Megan.Howser@oa.mo.gov. While the RFP includes multiple attachments related to project management and communication plans, it does not outline specific technical infrastructure requirements or integration expectations. The contract appears designed to create a pool of qualified vendors who can provide flexible, custom software training services to the Department of Social Services as needed throughout the contract period.
