MoDOT NW District - Purchase of New 47' Aerial and Chassis

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for its Northwest District, seeking to purchase one new 47' VST 47 MHI insulated Aerial unit mounted on a Ram 5500 4X4 Regular Cab with a 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine Chassis. MoDOT has determined that Custom Truck One Source is the sole source capable of providing this specialized equipment, which is available from a single distributor for a limited time. The solicitation (SFS605CO24002170) is open from May 2, 2024, to May 8, 2024, at 2:00 PM CDT, with MoDOT required to take possession of the unit by June 1, 2024. The procurement will be conducted electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest and best bid that meets all mandatory specifications and requirements. Evaluation criteria will include pricing, compliance with technical specifications, and vendor responsiveness.

The solicitation encourages minority business enterprise (MBE) participation of 10% and women business enterprise (WBE) participation of 5%, though these are not mandatory requirements. Vendors must complete the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act Certification and comply with the Domestic Products Procurement Act for purchases over $25,000, which requires a preference for American-made goods. The procurement is subject to Missouri Code of State Regulation 7 CSR 10-11.020, which allows for single feasible source purchases under specific circumstances. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned beyond Custom Truck One Source, the solicitation indicates this is a one-time purchase for the specified equipment. No explicit budget range or total award value is provided in the documentation, though the specialized nature of the equipment suggests it is a significant capital investment for MoDOT's Northwest District.
