Investigative Services

The State of Missouri, specifically the Division of Professional Registration and the Missouri State Board of Nursing, is seeking qualified vendors to provide investigative services through a Request for Proposal (RFPS30034902301187) solicitation. The procurement aims to support the regulatory and enforcement activities of these state agencies by obtaining professional investigative services to be delivered free on board (FOB) to 3605 Missouri Blvd in Jefferson City, Missouri. The solicitation requires vendors to submit comprehensive proposals electronically through the MissouriBUYS system between November 18, 2022, and December 12, 2022, with submissions due by 8:00 PM GMT on the closing date. Vendors must include four key attachments with their proposal: Evaluation Criteria for Technical Proposal, Investigator Profile, Non-Conviction Verification, and Authorization for Release of Information. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided documents, the solicitation suggests that the technical proposal and investigator qualifications will be critical components of vendor selection. The point of contact for this solicitation is Mertrell Nickens, who can be reached at 573-751-7656 or mertrell.nickens@oa.mo.gov for any questions or clarifications.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation, and there is no mention of existing infrastructure or technology that would require integration with the proposed investigative services. The documents do not disclose the total estimated contract value or budget range, which suggests that pricing and contract specifics will be determined through the proposal evaluation process. Payment terms for the contract are specified as Net 45 days, providing vendors with a standard payment timeline. Vendors are responsible for ensuring timely and accurate submission of their proposals, with the understanding that technical support may be available during the submission process if needed. The lack of specific line items indicates that this is a service-based procurement focused on obtaining flexible and comprehensive investigative support for the state agencies.
