Vendors must provide a comprehensive parts catalog or list detailing Schulte or Schulte compatible part numbers, names, and Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP), along with a percentage discount off the MSRP.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses may also receive preferential consideration. For commodity purchases over $25,000, vendors must comply with the Domestic Products Procurement Act, which provides a 10% price preference for U.S.-manufactured goods. Vendors must maintain adequate liability insurance and name the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) and MoDOT as additional insureds. There are no incumbent contractors or guaranteed minimum purchase quantities associated with this contract. While no specific budget range is detailed, the contract allows for price increases after the first six months with proper documentation and MoDOT approval. Vendors must also complete additional certifications for contracts exceeding $25,000 (Exhibit N - Buy American) and $100,000 (Exhibits M and N - Buy American and Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act).
