The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) and Service-Disabled Veteran Business (SDVE) vendors are also encouraged to participate.

Payment terms are set at Net 45 Days, with pricing to be provided on a per-ton basis and FOB Destination. While no specific incumbent vendor is identified, the solicitation allows MoDOT to increase or decrease the final quantity ordered at the unit price bid. The contract is structured as a one-time delivery with no explicit renewal options, focused on supplying aggregate materials for transportation infrastructure projects in the Northwest District of Missouri.
