MSB Parent Advisor

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB23MSB001) for MSB Parent Advisors for Fiscal Year 2023, seeking vendors to provide parent advisory services for the Missouri School for the Blind (MSB) program. This procurement opportunity is specifically targeted at the state of Missouri, with jurisdictional relevance to Clark County and Jefferson City. The solicitation is open to all vendors and requires interested parties to submit their responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or potentially via hard copy between April 4, 2022, and April 30, 2022. While specific deliverables and detailed service requirements are not explicitly outlined in the documents, the core objective appears to be securing parent advisor services to support the Missouri School for the Blind's operations. The procurement follows standard state procurement protocols with payment terms set at Net 45 Days and delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination. Potential vendors can direct questions to Sandy Withers in Jefferson City and William Runzo in St. Louis during the solicitation period.

No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on responding organizations were mentioned in the procurement documents. The solicitation does not provide information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it detail existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. Additionally, the documents do not specify a total contract value, budget range, or estimated compensation for the parent advisor services. The lack of specific pricing information, line items, or quantitative service expectations suggests that DESE is seeking flexibility in vendor proposals. Interested vendors are advised to thoroughly review the solicitation documents available through the MissouriBUYS system and ensure timely submission of their responses. The contract appears to be for the 2023 fiscal year, though potential renewal options are not explicitly stated in the available documentation.
