Occupational therapy services - dese

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB25000244) for Occupational Therapy Services specifically for the Missouri School for the Deaf located in Fulton. The procurement seeks physical therapy services that will be delivered according to each student's unique Individualized Education Plan (IEP), with service requirements subject to dynamic change based on individual student progress, new enrollments, and student transfers throughout the academic year. The services will be provided on an as-needed basis, with the understanding that therapeutic needs may evolve annually or mid-year depending on each child's developmental trajectory. The bid solicitation period runs from July 31, 2024, at 8:00:00 AM CDT through August 9, 2024, at 2:00:00 PM CDT, during which time vendors must submit their responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS system. Vendors are required to download and review all solicitation documents, complete all applicable exhibits including pricing pages, and ensure timely submission of their comprehensive bid response. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest price, with payment terms set at Net 45 Days and delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The IFB does not specify a total estimated contract value or budget range, which suggests potential variability in service needs based on student enrollment and individual therapeutic requirements. The contract is specifically for the Missouri School for the Deaf, serving students in Callaway, Cole, and Jefferson City jurisdictions. Vendors will be responsible for providing physical therapy services tailored to each student's individualized educational needs, with the understanding that service requirements may fluctuate throughout the academic year. The solicitation emphasizes vendor responsibility for comprehensive review of all documents and timely, accurate submission of bid responses through the designated procurement system.
