ER234R6034 - Special Spend for MO DOC Honor Dorms

The Missouri Department of Corrections is requesting bids on a one-time purchase contract to supply honor dorm facilities across nineteen institutional locations statewide under IFB ER234R6034, with bids due July 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. Vendors must achieve "Approved" registration status in MissouriBUYS and must bid on all line items to be eligible for award — this is an all-or-nothing structure with a single award to one vendor.

The scope comprises four line items for approximately 5,000 offenders (4,544 men and 456 women): 4,544 pairs of men's Adidas "Own the Game" athletic shoes in white with black trim; 456 pairs of women's Puma "Softride Enzo 5" athletic shoes in white; 5,000 A4 Spirit gray fleece hoodies; and 417 cases of lemon pepper seasoning in 4–6 ounce clear plastic containers. Each facility may place only one order during the six-month contract period on a rotating schedule. Delivery must occur within fifteen business days of receiving an authorized purchase order, coordinated with the ordering institution and subject to institutional acceptance.

All pricing must be firm and fixed, submitted on Exhibit B, and include packing, handling, shipping, and freight charges on an FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed basis. The contract period runs from award through six months, with a renewal option for one additional six-month period reflecting a first-year percentage increase or decrease in pricing.

Vendors offering American-made products are entitled to a 10% preference. Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises receive a three-point bonus if properly certified by the state deadline. Mandatory business compliance exhibits include state tax compliance certification, Missouri Secretary of State business registration documentation, and Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act certification if the company has ten or more employees. The department reserves the right to reject any and all bids and will award within ninety calendar days of bid submission. Direct inquiries to Lisa Graham at Lisa.Graham@doc.mo.gov or (573) 526-6611.
