Polygraph Examination Services

The Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB931Y22708342) for polygraph examination services across six geographical regions within the state: Eastern, Western, North Central, Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest. The procurement seeks comprehensive polygraph examination services, including initial sexual history examinations, initial instant offense examinations, maintenance examinations, sex offense monitoring examinations, incomplete examinations, and no-show services. Vendors must submit detailed bids that include completed Exhibits A through H, with pricing for each examination type within each region. The solicitation period runs from May 2, 2022, to May 31, 2022, with bids due by 7:00 PM GMT on the final day. Bidders can submit responses either as hard copy sealed bids to the DOC Purchasing Section in Jefferson City or electronically through the MissouriBUYS system. The contract will have an initial one-year term with options for two additional one-year renewal periods, and vendors must provide maximum pricing for both potential renewal periods. Evaluation will focus on determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specification requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were identified in the solicitation documents. The IFB does not mention any preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses, and no incumbent vendor information was provided. The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors capable of delivering the specified polygraph examination services across Missouri's regions. Payment terms are established at net 45 days, and funding will be drawn from the Department of Corrections' operating budget. While no specific total contract value was explicitly stated, the solicitation includes 36 line items across the six regions, suggesting a potentially substantial contract opportunity. The DOC will award the contract based on the most advantageous bid that meets all technical and pricing requirements, with the primary point of contact for questions being Diana Fredrick, who can be reached at 573-526-0591 or diana.fredrick@doc.mo.gov.
