Electronic Key Control Systems and Components

The Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered IFB93121708316 seeking sealed bids from vendors to provide electronic key control systems, components, and related items for various DOC locations throughout the state. The procurement is structured as an as-needed, if-needed contract with vendors required to submit a firm, fixed percentage discount applicable to all items in their price list/catalog. Vendors must complete and submit Exhibits A, E, and F along with the signed IFB cover page, with bid submissions accepted as hard copies delivered to the DOC Purchasing Section in Jefferson City or electronically through the MissouriBUYS system. The solicitation period runs from March 1, 2021, at 2:00 PM GMT to March 30, 2021, at 7:00 PM GMT, with bids to be evaluated based on the proposed percentage discount. The primary evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder offering the highest percentage discount on electronic key control systems and related components. Payment terms are set at Net 45 days, with delivery required Free On Board Destination.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors are identified, and the solicitation appears open to all qualified vendors capable of providing electronic key control systems. The document does not provide an estimated total contract value or budget range, instead focusing on establishing a discount-based pricing mechanism for future purchases. The contract will enable the Missouri DOC to acquire electronic key control systems and components on an as-needed basis, with the flexibility to purchase from the awarded vendor(s) when required. Jurisdictions covered by this solicitation include Clark County and Jefferson City, though the contract's scope appears statewide for Missouri Department of Corrections facilities. The absence of specific quantity requirements or funding limitations suggests this is a flexible procurement intended to establish a pricing framework for future electronic key control system acquisitions.
