Vendors must submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System by the deadline of July 21, 2021, at 3:00 PM GMT.

For purchases over $25,000, a 10% price preference is available for products manufactured or produced in the United States under the Buy American Act. Payment terms are set at Net 30 days upon receipt of a correctly billed invoice, with invoices to be sent to SWInvoices@modot.mo.gov.
