The State of Missouri's Office of Administration - Information Technology Services Division (OA-ITSD) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) number IFB300318724001763 for Production Problem Resolution and Additional Support for MIP Fund Accounting software, formerly known as Abila. This procurement seeks comprehensive maintenance and support services for the MIP Fund Accounting software platform, with services to be provided through PAQ (Project Assessment Quotation) and/or Statement of Work arrangements. The solicitation covers two primary line items: hourly rates for MIP Fund Accounting Problem Resolution and Support services, and annual travel costs associated with providing those services. Vendors must submit their responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS system between March 8, 2024, at 4:00 PM CST and March 28, 2024, at 2:00 PM CDT. The procurement involves multiple jurisdictions, including the State of Missouri, Clay County, and Jefferson City, with a focus on maintaining and supporting the existing MIP Fund Accounting software infrastructure.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, indicating the solicitation is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendor information is explicitly provided in the documentation, and there are no mentioned requirements for disadvantaged enterprise participation. The solicitation does not disclose a specific estimated contract value or budget range, though the payment terms are defined as Net 45 Days with Free On Board Destination delivery terms. Invoices will be processed through the ITSD Accounts Payable office located in Jefferson City, Missouri. The contract period is relatively short, running from March 8, 2024, to March 28, 2024, suggesting this might be a targeted, specific support engagement for the MIP Fund Accounting software system. Vendors are advised that they are solely responsible for ensuring timely submission of their responses and must allow adequate time for any potential technical support needs during the submission process.
