Missouri Cancer Action Plan Implementation

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the Missouri Cancer Action Plan Implementation project, a mini-contracts procurement approach designed to implement between two and three high-priority projects from the Missouri Cancer Action Plan across the topic areas of screening, prevention, and survivorship. The solicitation was posted on May 13, 2026, with an opening date of May 14, 2026, at 8:00 AM Central Time and a response deadline of June 18, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time. Qualified vendors must submit proposals that address specific project requirements aligned with statewide health objectives and demonstrate prior experience with cancer control program implementation and capacity to execute statewide health initiatives. Bidders are required to provide a guaranteed not-to-exceed price for Line 1, covering cancer or leukemia prevention or control services, with pricing submitted in US Dollars with two decimal places and alternate lines permitted. Vendors must be registered in MissouriBUYS (Powered by MOVERS) to be considered for contract award and are required to complete and submit all necessary business compliance exhibits with their solicitation response. Price serves as the sole ranking and evaluation method for award determination. The contract will be established as a Blanket Purchase Agreement with an immediate agreement start date, and freight terms are FOB with vendors responsible for shipping costs.

The solicitation documents do not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on organization types, or disadvantaged enterprise requirements, nor do they identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. No information regarding existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements is detailed in the available materials. The specific total agreement amount, minimum release amount, payment terms, performance periods, and any renewal options are contingent upon successful proposal evaluation and negotiation with selected vendors and are not outlined in the provided solicitation excerpts. The contract award will be made to the most responsive and responsible bidders meeting the evaluation criteria established by DHSS, with the mini-contracts approach allowing the department to distribute resources across multiple high-impact cancer control initiatives while maintaining oversight and accountability. Prospective vendors are encouraged to immediately begin securing necessary verifications and information needed to complete the required business compliance exhibits prior to submission. No pre-bid conference, tour, or site visit information was identified in the available solicitation materials.
