Gas Chromatographs/Mass Spectrometers (GC/MS) - MSHP

The State of Missouri, specifically the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP), has issued a Single Feasible Source Commodity (SFSC) solicitation for Gas Chromatographs/Mass Spectrometers (GC/MS) equipment. The solicitation, numbered SFSC30034901802332, was posted on April 25, 2018, with responses due by May 8, 2018, at 3:00 PM CDT. The procurement seeks high-precision scientific instruments typically used for forensic analysis and chemical testing, with delivery required to various MSHP locations across Missouri. The contract period will run for one year from the date of award, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination. The solicitation is open to all vendors and has been designated as having no specific line items. Interested parties are directed to contact Tammy Michel at the Missouri Office of Administration, located at 301 West High Street, Room 630, Jefferson City, MO, who can be reached at 573-751-3114 or Tammy.Michel@oa.mo.gov for any questions or clarifications regarding the procurement.

The solicitation documents do not specify any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technology infrastructure that might require integration. Similarly, the documentation does not disclose an estimated total contract value or specific budget range for the procurement. The payment terms are to be specified by the vendors themselves, and no additional financial details are outlined in the available documents. Vendors are solely responsible for ensuring timely submission of their responses, whether submitted electronically or as hard copies, and are warned that technical support issues will not be considered an acceptable excuse for late submissions. The lack of detailed specifications suggests this may be an open-ended procurement allowing vendors significant flexibility in proposing gas chromatography and mass spectrometry solutions to meet the Missouri State Highway Patrol's forensic research and analysis needs.
