MoDOT SE District - Service Bed Installation

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southeast District has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a one-time purchase and installation of a service body bed for a 2021 Dodge Ram 4500 vehicle. The solicitation, identified as IFB60SE22001279, seeks qualified organizations to provide a complete service bed installation that meets the detailed specifications outlined in the procurement documents. Vendors must submit their bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System or obtain prior approval for hard copy submissions. The bid period runs from January 18, 2022, to February 1, 2022, at 3:00 PM CST, with bids to be evaluated based on the lowest and best responsive bid meeting technical specifications. Evaluation criteria include compliance with mandatory requirements, vendor responsibility, reliability, and the ability to meet the precise service bed installation specifications. Bidders are required to submit completed Exhibit N (Buy America Form) and Exhibit M (Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act Certification) along with descriptive literature detailing the exact product being bid.

The IFB encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. The procurement includes a Buy American Act provision for purchases over $25,000, offering a 10% price preference for goods manufactured or produced in the United States. While no specific incumbent vendor is identified, the contract is structured as a one-time purchase with no renewal options. Cooperative purchasing provisions allow Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially utilize the awarded contract pricing. Although no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documents, the procurement is for a single service body bed installation for a 2021 Dodge Ram 4500, suggesting a relatively focused and potentially limited-value contract. MoDOT reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible, and reliable bidder.
