Missouri Tobacco Cessation Quitline Services

The State of Missouri has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) numbered RFPS30034902301584 seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive statewide Tobacco Cessation Quitline Services. The primary objective is to establish and operate a call center focused on providing professional counseling, education, and support services designed to help Missouri residents quit tobacco use. Key deliverables include establishing a fully operational quitline with professional counselors who can provide comprehensive tobacco cessation support through telephonic interventions. The solicitation period opened on February 2, 2023, and will close on April 4, 2023, with proposals due by 2:00 PM CDT. A pre-proposal teleconference has already been conducted, and potential vendors can submit questions to Cody Ling at cody.ling@oa.mo.gov or 573-522-0001. The RFP specifies payment terms of Net 45 Days and requires Free On Board Destination delivery terms, with vendors able to submit proposals either as hard copies or electronically through the MissouriBUYS system.

The solicitation appears open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology requiring integration. The RFP does not disclose an estimated total contract value or specific budget range for the tobacco cessation quitline services. Vendors are solely responsible for ensuring timely submission of their proposals and must review and accept all documents through the MissouriBUYS system's Overview tab before submission. While the documentation provides comprehensive details about the service requirements and submission process, it remains deliberately vague about financial specifics, leaving significant flexibility for potential vendors to propose comprehensive solutions for Missouri's tobacco cessation program.
