Extended Warranty Services for LCMS-8050

The Missouri Department of Corrections is soliciting a single-feasible-source contract for extended warranty services on a Shimadzu LCMS-8050 liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer, with proposals due July 29, 2026. Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc. is the sole source identified; the Department will consider alternative feasible sources only if the buyer receives written notice by the proposal deadline.

This is a sole-source procurement under Missouri Revised Statute Section 34.044, justified on the grounds that Shimadzu is both the equipment manufacturer and sole authorized service provider for its own instruments. The contract covers the Division of Offender Rehabilitative Services Toxicology Laboratory.

The contract period runs August 7, 2026 through August 6, 2027, with two one-year renewal options available. The Department will not accept electronic bid responses. Contact Danice Chaidez, procurement officer, at 573-522-2109 or Danice.Chaidez@doc.mo.gov to propose an alternative feasible source or submit a response. No pre-bid meetings or site visits are scheduled. Specific pricing, minimum release amounts, and estimated total contract value are not disclosed in the posting. Payment terms are immediate, free-on-board shipping.
