Fluke Metrological Wells

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB605CO20002155) to establish a contract for Fluke Calibration Metrology Wells, Inserts, and Carrying Cases compatible with their existing equipment. The procurement seeks five specific line items: Fluke Calibration Metrology Well 9170-A-156, Fluke Calibration Insert 9170-INSY, Fluke Calibration Metrology Well 9172-A-156, Fluke Calibration Insert 9172-INSY, and Fluke Calibration Carrying Case 9170, with one unit requested for each item. The bid solicitation covers a contract period from the date of award through April 30, 2021, with four optional one-year renewal periods. Bids are due by April 16, 2020 at 3:00 PM CDT, with delivery required within 45 days after receipt of order to various MoDOT district locations throughout the state. The evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bid meeting the specified requirements, with pricing to include all delivery costs, handling, and shipping charges. Bidders must provide firm, fixed unit prices for all line items, and the pricing will be assessed based on the total bid amount.

The solicitation actively encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements. Service-disabled veteran-owned businesses are also preferred, though no mandatory participation levels are specified. The contract allows for cooperative purchasing by Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities, expanding its potential usage beyond MoDOT. Vendors may submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System or via hard copy. The contract includes provisions for potential price increases during renewal periods, subject to written justification and MoDOT approval, with no increases permitted during the first six months of the original or renewal periods. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates that MoDOT reserves the right to use the state purchasing card for payments and to accept or reject any and all bids.
