Pricing for the services will be dynamically calculated using the St. Louis #1 Heavy Melt Scrap Dealer Selling Price on the American Metal Market, with vendors bidding a fixed margin above or below this base price. The solicitation will be awarded by group based on county per gross ton, and vendors must be registered on the MissouriBUYS system to access full terms and conditions. Bid submissions were accepted from September 22, 2018, at 3:00:00 PM GMT through October 2, 2018, at 7:00:00 PM GMT, with potential for up to three one-year contract renewals. Key deliverables include providing containers at specified locations, collecting scrap metal, and submitting detailed documentation including American Metal Market pricing sheets, scale tickets, and retrieval information.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) with a 10% goal and Women Business Enterprises (WBE) with a 5% goal, achieved through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures.
