Occupational Therapy Services

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has issued a Special Delegation of Authority (SDA) solicitation, numbered SDA359-20MSD002, for Occupational Therapy Services specifically targeted at supporting students of the Missouri School for the Deaf (MSD). The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide occupational therapy services across Clark County and Jefferson City jurisdictions, with a defined solicitation period from June 18, 2019, at 5:00 PM CDT to July 3, 2019, at 4:00 PM CDT. While specific service details are referenced in an attached "OT Services 2019-2020 IFB.doc" document, the solicitation indicates the services will be delivered under Free on Board (FOB) Destination terms with Net 45 days payment terms. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Sandy Withers at DESE, located at 205 Jefferson St, Eighth Floor, Jefferson City, MO 65101, who can be reached at 573-751-4463 or sandy.withers@dese.mo.gov. Vendors are solely responsible for ensuring timely submission of their responses, whether submitted online or as hard copies, and no technical support issues will be considered as an excuse for late submissions.

The solicitation is open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the document does not specify any disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. The estimated total contract value is not disclosed in any of the solicitation documents, and no specific budget range is indicated. The procurement appears to be a one-time service acquisition for the 2019-2020 academic year, with no explicit information about potential contract renewals or extensions. Interested vendors must carefully review the attached IFB document for comprehensive details about service requirements, qualifications, and expectations. The lack of line item specifications and detailed pricing terms suggests that vendors will need to provide comprehensive proposals that outline their capabilities to deliver occupational therapy services to MSD students.
