Master Lease Services

The State of Missouri, through its Office of Administration, has issued a Request for Proposal (RFPT30034901900168) for Master Lease Services, seeking vendors to provide statewide 3-year and 5-year master lease contracts for IT equipment and services. The solicitation, which opened on October 3, 2018, and closed on November 13, 2018, targets jurisdictions including Clark County and Jefferson City. Vendors are required to submit pricing as a percentage of the base rate to determine lease schedule interest rates for both 3-year and 5-year term leases, with no negative values allowed. Required deliverables include a comprehensive set of documents such as Lease Financing Request, Lease Schedule, Certificate of Acceptance, Technical Proposal, and Lease Detail spreadsheets. Evaluation criteria focus on the submitted percentage rates and the completeness of the required attachments, with vendors expected to submit their proposals either electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or as hard copy responses to the Division of Purchasing. The payment terms are set at Net 45 Days, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination, and the contract requires OA-Accounting approval for statewide usage.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, indicating that all vendors are eligible to submit proposals. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documents, and there are no details provided about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The estimated total contract value is not disclosed in the solicitation documents. The contract appears to be open to any vendor capable of meeting the technical and pricing requirements, with the intent to establish a master lease arrangement for IT equipment that can be utilized by state agencies and local jurisdictions within Missouri. While the specific budget range is not specified, the solicitation suggests that the contract will be funded through the state's Office of Administration Accounting process, with individual lease schedules to be determined based on the percentage rates submitted by the successful vendor(s).
