The Missouri Department of Corrections is seeking to procure 1,100 pairs of mid-top leather basketball shoes through an Invitation for Bid (IFB931ER234N0007) for various correctional facility locations. The shoes must be available in men's whole sizes 7-15, with specific requirements for brand, catalog/item number, wide width availability, and color options. Vendors are required to submit detailed pricing for the initial contract period and provide percentage increases or decreases for two potential one-year renewal periods. The solicitation period runs from February 4, 2020, to February 25, 2020, with bids due by 2:00 PM CST on the final day. Vendors must complete and submit the IFB cover page along with Exhibits A, B, F, and any other applicable exhibits. The evaluation criteria focus on the lowest total bid price from a responsive and responsible bidder, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination. Payment will be processed based on final delivery, inspection, and acceptance of the items.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were mentioned in the solicitation documents. The bid appears to be open to all vendors without preference for disadvantaged enterprises or specific business types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the documentation. The solicitation does not provide a specific award value or budget range for the contract. The contract includes provisions for two optional one-year renewal periods, with pricing adjustments calculated against the original contract price rather than the previous year's price. Vendors must specify percentage increases or decreases for these potential renewal periods, with the understanding that if no percentage is provided, the Department reserves the right to execute renewals at the same price as the previous contract period. The primary contact for this solicitation is Cynthia Adkins at the Missouri Department of Corrections in Jefferson City.
