The procurement is specifically targeted at invited vendors and covers a contract period from June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2025. The solicitation requires delivery of test kits and controls to the DHSS Warehouse located at 920 Wildwood Dr. in Jefferson City, Missouri, with Free On Board Destination terms and Net 45 Days payment terms. Responses to this solicitation are due by December 8, 2023, at 2:00 PM CST, with the opportunity open only to pre-selected vendors.

Interested vendors must contact Tammy Michel at 573-751-3114 or tammy.michel@oa.mo.gov for additional information or clarification about the solicitation.

The solicitation appears to be a restricted procurement with no specific set-aside designations or explicit requirements for disadvantaged enterprises. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing contractual infrastructure for these testing kits. The total estimated contract value is not disclosed in the available documentation, and there are no line items specified in the solicitation. The procurement is limited to invited vendors, which suggests a pre-qualified or sole-source procurement approach. While the solicitation provides detailed delivery and payment terms, it does not outline specific evaluation criteria or vendor qualifications beyond the invitation-only restriction. The lack of comprehensive details indicates this may be a specialized procurement with specific vendor requirements that are not publicly disclosed in the available documents.
