The State of Missouri has issued a Single Feasible Source IT (SFST) solicitation, designated as SFST30034902002826, for hosting services for the existing Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) Missouri System of Support by Leader Services. The procurement covers Clark County and Jefferson City jurisdictions, with a contract period spanning from July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. The solicitation seeks a vendor to provide cloud hosting services for the existing DESE Missouri System of Support platform, with specific focus on maintaining and supporting the current technological infrastructure. Vendors are required to submit their responses either electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or via hard copy, with a strict submission deadline of July 5, 2020, at 9:45 AM CDT. The procurement process allows all vendors to respond, with payment terms set at Net 45 Days and delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, making it an open procurement for all potential vendors. There are no explicit mentions of disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. The documentation does not provide information about the incumbent vendor or current contractors, nor does it detail the existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. Additionally, the solicitation does not disclose an estimated total contract value or specific budget range, which leaves the financial scope undefined. The lack of line item specifications and detailed financial information suggests this is a comprehensive service package focused solely on hosting services for the DESE Missouri System of Support. Vendors are advised to carefully review the solicitation documents and ensure timely submission through the designated channels, with the understanding that they are solely responsible for meeting all procurement requirements.
