MoDOT SW District - Purchase of LimnTech Life Mark 400

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for a specialized LimnTech LifeMark400 record, layout, and maintenance striping system for the Southwest District. The equipment will be installed on an EZ Liner Striping Truck Model AL850-EZ with a Peterbilt 320 chassis. MoDOT has determined that LimnTech Scientific Inc. is the sole source for this proprietary equipment, as the supplies are only available from the manufacturer or a single distributor. The solicitation requires electronic submission through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system, with responses due on January 18, 2023, at 2:00 PM CST. Evaluation criteria include compliance with mandatory specifications, pricing, vendor responsibility, and overall bid responsiveness. Vendors must submit required exhibits, including Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act Certification and Missouri Buy America Form. The procurement is structured as a one-time purchase with Free on Board Destination delivery terms and vendor-specified payment terms.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. For purchases over $25,000, there is a 10% price preference for goods manufactured or produced in the United States under the Domestic Products Procurement Act. No specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, and the total estimated value of the purchase is not disclosed in the solicitation documents. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best bid that meets all mandatory requirements, with MoDOT reserving the right to reject any and all bids. Prospective vendors must register with the MissouriBUYS system to submit responses, and hard copy submissions are only permitted with prior buyer approval. The procurement is specific to MoDOT's Southwest District and does not include any renewal options, as it is a one-time equipment purchase.
