The Missouri Office of Administration, Division of Purchasing is requesting proposals for fencing material on behalf of the Department of Corrections for delivery to various facilities throughout the state, with proposals due October 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time.

The Domestic Products Procurement Act (Buy American) provides a 10% preference for American-made goods. Vendors may earn additional evaluation bonus points through participation by Organizations for the Blind or Sheltered Workshops (5–15 points) or as Missouri Service-Disabled Veteran or Honorably Discharged Veteran Business Enterprises (3 points each).

Fencing material will be delivered to 19 state correctional facilities and treatment centers across Missouri on a FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed basis, with delivery required within thirty calendar days of purchase order receipt. The contractor must coordinate all deliveries with state agency facilities and unload shipments at designated sites. Background checks through the Missouri State Highway Patrol are required for all personnel prior to facility access, with compliance costs borne by the contractor.

The contract runs from November 22, 2026 through November 21, 2027, with two additional optional one-year renewals at the state's discretion. Pricing shall be firm and fixed. Historical spending under the previous contract (CC240608001) was $415,387.66 in FY24, $56,974.85 in FY25, and $47,843.36 in FY26, though the state makes no guarantee regarding future purchase volume. The contract is contingent upon passage of funding by the General Assembly and is not binding for any fiscal year in which funds are not appropriated.

Vendors must achieve "Approved" registration status in MissouriBUYS (WebProcure/Proactis) and "Spend Authorized" status in MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS to be considered for award. Compliance with Missouri tax laws, business registration requirements, and federal debarment screening is required prior to award. Proposals must be submitted electronically through MissouriBUYS.
