Software Maintenance & Support for the Learning Management System (LIMS)

The State of Missouri has issued a Single Feasible Source - IT (SFST) solicitation for Software Maintenance & Support services for the Learning Management System (LIMS), targeting jurisdictions including Clay County and Jefferson City. The procurement is specifically designed for invited vendors only and covers a contract period from June 20, 2021, through June 19, 2022. The solicitation seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive maintenance and support services for the state's existing learning management technology platform. Responses were required to be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or via hard copy to the Division of Purchasing, with a strict submission deadline of June 28, 2021, at 2:00 PM CDT. The primary contact for this solicitation is Nicolle Backes from the State of Missouri Division of Purchasing, located in Jefferson City. While specific technical requirements and evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the available documents, the solicitation emphasizes vendor responsibility for timely submission and technical compatibility.

The solicitation is restricted to invited vendors, effectively limiting competition to a pre-selected group of potential service providers. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or minority-owned enterprises were identified in the documentation. The procurement does not disclose the current incumbent vendor or provide details about the existing LIMS infrastructure that would require integration. Additionally, no estimated total contract value or budget range was specified in the available documents. The solicitation includes standard payment terms of Net 45 Days and delivery terms of Free on Board Destination. Vendors were required to either print the solicitation document for hard copy submission or review and accept the documents electronically through the MissouriBUYS system. The lack of detailed pricing information, line item specifications, and explicit evaluation criteria suggests this may be a negotiated or direct source procurement tailored to a specific vendor's capabilities.
