MoDOT NW District - Purchase of a New Slope Mower

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for its Northwest District to purchase one new slope mower. The specific equipment is a TT211/206 model with precise specifications, including a front mount flail and hammers, twin wheels front and rear, and a 72 hp Kubota engine. MoDOT has determined that Track Inc. is the sole distributor capable of providing this equipment within the required timeframe, with a mandatory delivery and possession date of June 1, 2024. The solicitation period runs from May 3, 2024, to May 9, 2024, at 2:00 PM CDT, during which interested vendors can submit electronic responses through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest and best bid that meets all mandatory specifications, with MoDOT reserving the right to reject any and all submissions.

The procurement includes specific requirements for vendor participation, with encouragement for minority and women-owned business enterprise (MBE/WBE) involvement, targeting 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. The solicitation is subject to the Domestic Products Procurement Act, which provides a 10% price preference for goods manufactured or produced in the United States for purchases over $25,000. Vendors must complete various certification forms, including an Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act Certification and Missouri Buy America Form. While no specific total contract value is disclosed, the procurement is structured as a one-time purchase with Free On Board Destination delivery terms. The solicitation is being conducted under Missouri Code of State Regulation 7 CSR 10-11.020, which allows for single feasible source procurement when supplies are available from a single distributor for a limited time period.
