Outdoor Lighted End Extension Cords

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is seeking a vendor to supply and deliver outdoor lighted end extension cords for its Hannibal, Missouri facility through an Invitation for Quote (IFQ605NE18000779). The procurement specifically requests 201 units of 25-foot and 27 units of 50-foot extension cords with precise technical specifications, including UL listing, 12-gauge, 3-conductor ground, 15-amp, NEMA 5-15P configuration, single outlet, and yellow SJTW material. The solicitation requires vendors to be registered in the MissouriBUYS system and mandates that all pricing include delivery costs, with no additional fees accepted for handling, taxes, or fuel surcharges. The quote submission period runs from October 3, 2017, to October 17, 2017, at 2:00 PM CDT, with delivery to commence upon receipt of a purchase order or notice to proceed. The award will be made on an "All or Nothing" basis to the lowest and best quote that complies with mandatory specifications, with MoDOT reserving the right to increase or decrease ordered quantities at the same unit price.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other meaningful arrangements. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) or Service-Disabled Veteran Business (SDVE) vendors are also eligible and may receive preference. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves a relatively small quantity of specialized extension cords with strict technical requirements. Payment terms are set at net 30 days, to be made in full after complete delivery and receipt of a correct invoice, with no partial payments permitted. Vendors must provide a planned delivery schedule at least two business days prior to the start of delivery, and all extension cords must meet the detailed technical specifications outlined in the solicitation documents. The procurement is limited to the MoDOT Northeast District's facility in Hannibal, Missouri, with delivery terms specified as FOB destination.
