The State of Missouri Department of Natural Resources Environmental Services Program (DNR/ESP) is soliciting bids for the procurement of three multi-gas calibrators through Invitation for Bid (IFBC) number IFBC30034902000066. These sophisticated instruments are required for dynamic calibration of monitoring site instruments, with specific capabilities to automatically perform zero, precision, and span checks, as well as multi-point calibrations using various gases including carbon monoxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitric oxide, and other specified compounds. The calibrators must meet rigorous technical specifications, including flow accuracy of 1.0% from 10-100% of full scale, a repeatability of 0.05%, operating temperature range of 0-50°C, maximum weight of 30 pounds, and power requirements of 115 VAC @ 60 Hertz. The solicitation was released on July 10, 2019, with bid responses due by July 24, 2019, at 3:00 PM CDT. The contract period is one year from the date of award, with options for two additional one-year renewal periods, and delivery will be FOB Destination to the DNR/ESP facility located in Jefferson City, Missouri.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors who can meet the detailed technical specifications. Payment terms are set at Net 45 days, and vendors must provide firm, fixed pricing for the initial contract period and both potential renewal periods. While the total estimated contract value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves three complex multi-gas calibration units with advanced technological capabilities. Vendors are required to submit their bids either electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or as hard copy responses to the Division of Purchasing, and must complete Exhibits B and F along with any other applicable exhibits. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the successful vendor expected to provide the calibrators along with any special tools necessary for adjustment, disassembly, or service, and potentially offer a warranty period exceeding the standard two-year term.
