The State of Missouri, on behalf of Clark County and Jefferson City, is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFBC) for dental supplies procurement. The solicitation seeks bids for a comprehensive range of dental hygiene products, including 125,000 units of 0.85 oz sample size toothpaste (with fluoride), 100,000 units of waxed dental floss (12-15 yards), 90,000 disposable mouth mirrors, 30,000 infant toothbrushes, and varying quantities of small and regular size toothbrushes (ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 units). Each item has specific technical requirements, such as fluoride content, waxed floss specifications, and detailed bristle configurations for toothbrushes. The bid submission period runs from June 12, 2020, to June 25, 2020, with responses due by 3:00 PM CDT. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing details, including brand information, stock numbers, units per case, and maximum prices for two potential renewal periods. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination and Net 45 Days payment terms. Bidders can submit proposals either as hard copies to the Division of Purchasing or electronically through the MissouriBUYS system.

The solicitation is open to all qualified vendors with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on participation. Some toothbrush items require an additional imprinting setup fee, which vendors must factor into their pricing. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The total contract value is not specified, and no budget range or anticipated award value is provided in the solicitation documents. Vendors are required to review the complete solicitation document and attach all required exhibits to their bid response. The point of contact for all inquiries is Jennie Rees at the State of Missouri's Division of Purchasing. The contract will have an initial term with options for two renewal periods, providing flexibility for both the procuring agencies and the successful vendor. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to meet the detailed technical specifications for each dental supply item and provide pricing for the initial contract period and potential renewals.
