Northern Tool and Equipment Portable Hydraulic Pump

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for Northern Tool and Equipment Portable Hydraulic Pumps through solicitation number SFS605CO23000936. The agency has determined that Northern Tool and Equipment is the sole source capable of providing these specific hydraulic pumps, effectively waiving traditional competitive bidding requirements. The contract period will run from the official notice to proceed through one year, with bids being accepted electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or via hard copy submission (with prior approval). The solicitation was posted on November 2, 2022, with bid responses due by November 9, 2022, at 1:00 PM CST. Vendors intending to submit hard copy bids must contact the buyer, Michael Yoder, five business days before the bid closing date. MoDOT will evaluate bids primarily on price, with consideration given to vendor responsibility and compliance with solicitation requirements, and reserves the right to reject any and all bids.

The procurement encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements. For commodity purchases over $25,000, the Buy American Act applies, providing a 10% price preference for goods manufactured or produced in the United States. While no specific incumbent vendor information is provided, the solicitation requires vendors to be registered and in good standing with the Missouri Secretary of State and Department of Revenue. No specific total contract value or budget range is disclosed in the documents. The procurement is exempt from the state's domestic products requirement since it is for a commodity purchase under $25,000. Vendors must complete Exhibit A and other applicable exhibits, including Exhibit N for Buy American certification if applicable, and maintain registration on the MissouriBUYS system to participate in the bidding process.
