Protectosil CIT with Corrosion Inhibitor

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for Protectosil CIT with Corrosion Inhibitor, targeting statewide implementation for bridge infrastructure maintenance. The procurement specifically identifies Shield Products, Inc. as the sole source provider for this specialized concrete treatment product. The product must demonstrate critical performance characteristics, including a rapid dry-time of 15 minutes or less, the ability to increase patching material bond strength, and a corrosion inhibitor that reduces the halo effect on reinforcing steel, thereby extending the life of concrete patches on older bridge structures. The solicitation period was open from January 25, 2018, at 3:00 PM CST to January 29, 2018, at 2:00 PM CST, with a subsequent contract period running from March 1, 2018, through February 28, 2019. Vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to access full solicitation details and submit responses, which can be submitted electronically or via hard copy. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination with statewide delivery requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were identified in the solicitation documents. Shield Products, Inc. is explicitly named as both the sole source provider and the incumbent vendor for this procurement. The solicitation follows Missouri's Single Feasible Source procurement regulations under 7 CSR 10-11.020, which allows waiver of competitive bidding when only one feasible source exists for supplies. While no specific total contract value was explicitly stated, the documents indicate that for purchases over $5,000, MoDOT must post notice of the proposed purchase, and for purchases over $25,000, additional advertisement is required. Payment terms are established as Net 30 Days, and the procurement is open to all vendors who can meet the registration and product specification requirements. The solicitation has been designated as having no line items, suggesting flexibility in potential order quantities and implementation approach.
