The Missouri Department of Agriculture's Animal Health Division is seeking a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for PCR test kits to be used in food microbiology and animal health disease testing. The solicitation, numbered SFS243542182, requires highly specific test kits that must meet the rigorous testing demands and protocols of NVSL/NAHLN/USDA and FSIS. These specialized reagents and controls are specifically needed for T. Foetus testing and must be compatible with specific equipment to ensure accurate and efficient test results. The procurement is limited to invited vendors only and will be conducted from May 2, 2024, at 9:00 AM CDT to May 10, 2024, at 9:00 AM CDT. Delivery is mandated to the Missouri Department of Agriculture Animal Health Division located at 701 North Miller Avenue in Springfield, Missouri 65802.

Technical questions regarding the solicitation should be directed to Michelle Schuman at michelle.schuman@mda.mo.gov.

The solicitation is explicitly restricted to invited vendors, with no open competitive bidding process. No specific small business set-asides or disadvantaged enterprise provisions are mentioned in the documentation. The procurement does not list any incumbent vendors or provide details about existing infrastructure requirements for integration. Payment terms are established as Net 60 Days, with delivery specified as Free On Board Destination. While the exact estimated total contract value is not disclosed in any of the documents, the solicitation suggests this is a targeted, specialized procurement with specific technical requirements. The contract appears to be specifically designed for the Texas A&M University-Commerce (TAMUC) veterinary diagnostic facility, indicating a potentially narrow scope of application. No renewal options or contract term lengths are specified in the available documentation, which suggests this may be a one-time or short-term procurement for specific testing reagents and controls.
