IFB #02711733

The State of Missouri's Office of Administration - Facilities Management, Design & Construction has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB #02711733) for a cash farm lease service at the Boonville Correctional Center. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to lease and manage approximately 75 acres of farmland located within the correctional facility premises in Boonville, Missouri. The solicitation period runs from September 1, 2024, at 8:00 AM CDT through September 30, 2024, at 1:30 PM CDT. Interested vendors must submit their responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS system, with options for both electronic and hard copy submissions. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Sheri Nenninger from the Office of Administration, who can be reached at 573-751-1003 or sheri.nenninger@oa.mo.gov. Vendors are solely responsible for ensuring timely submission of their responses and must allow adequate time for potential technical support needs.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, indicating the opportunity is open to all vendors. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation documents do not provide an estimated total contract value or specific budget range for the farm lease service. The lack of detailed financial information suggests that vendors will need to propose their own pricing and lease terms. The contract period is defined as one month, from September 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024, which implies this is likely a short-term or seasonal farm lease arrangement. Vendors interested in participating must carefully review the complete solicitation documents available in the MissouriBUYS system to understand the full scope of requirements and expectations for the farm lease service.
