Missouri Public Safety Broadband Safety Access Network (PSB-RAN)

The State of Missouri has issued a Request for Proposal (RFPT30034901800032) for the Missouri Public Safety Broadband Safety Access Network (PSB-RAN), targeting jurisdictions including Clay County and Jefferson City. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide public safety user access fees for a comprehensive 25-year network contract. Specifically, the RFP requires vendors to submit two primary line items: a Public Safety User Access Fee for the PSB-RAN network and a percentage increase applicable to that fee for the second and subsequent years of the contract period. A mandatory pre-proposal conference was held on August 8, 2017, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time in Room 500 of the Harry S Truman Building in Jefferson City, with options for in-person and teleconference participation. The solicitation period ran from July 21, 2017, to September 5, 2017, with proposals due by 8:00 PM GMT, and vendors were required to submit responses either electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or as hard copies to the Division of Purchasing.

The RFP documentation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, indicating the solicitation is open to all vendors. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the provided documents. The RFP does not explicitly outline an estimated total contract value or specific budget range, though the 25-year contract term suggests a significant long-term financial commitment. Payment terms are established as Net 45 Days with Free On Board Destination delivery terms. The solicitation requires vendors to complete specific RFP exhibits (Exhibits A through G) and pricing pages as part of their evaluation. Vendors were explicitly prohibited from entering negative values for line items, and all submitted line items must be included in the bid total. The contract appears designed to establish a comprehensive public safety broadband network access infrastructure for Missouri, though specific technical integration requirements were not detailed in the available documentation.
