Para-Jem Kits

The Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA) Animal Health Division issued a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for eight Thermo Scientific VersaTrek para-JEM BLUE Kits, with a specific manufacturer part number Y7137-42. The procurement is targeted for laboratory supplies, with a precise solicitation period from February 19, 2020, at 8:00:00 AM CST to February 26, 2020, at 2:00:00 PM CST. The procurement covers Cole County and Jefferson City jurisdictions, with Laura Barry serving as the primary contact for vendor inquiries. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination, and vendors are responsible for ensuring timely submission of their responses, which can be submitted online or as hard copies. The solicitation requires vendors to provide the exact specified product without alternative manufacturers or products, and vendors cannot submit negative pricing values or exclude the line item from the total bid.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and no specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology are noted. The estimated total value of the contract is not specified in any of the documents, and no explicit budget range is provided. Payment terms are designated as "vendor-specified," and the procurement does not outline any specific evaluation criteria beyond the precise product specifications. The solicitation indicates a standard procurement process for specialized laboratory equipment, with a narrow focus on obtaining a very specific scientific kit from a single manufacturer.
