Specific DOT Rapid Set Cement

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), specifically the St. Louis District, is conducting a single feasible source procurement for a specialized Rapid-Set DOT Cement from CTS Cement Manufacturing Corp located in Mexico, Missouri. The solicitation (SFS605SL19002461) seeks a bulk cement product specifically designed for deck and dense overlay patching applications with highly specific performance requirements, including the ability to reach 3,000 psi compressive strength within one hour and maintain reasonable workability for creating smooth finished surfaces. The cement must demonstrate exceptional performance across extreme temperature conditions, functioning effectively in both summer heat and below-freezing winter environments. The solicitation was posted on April 25, 2019, with responses due by April 29, 2019, and establishes a contract period from April 30, 2019 to April 30, 2020. MoDOT has determined through extensive testing that only CTS Cement Manufacturing can provide a cement product fully compatible with their patching needs, justifying the single feasible source designation under Missouri Code of State Regulation 7 CSR 10-11.020.

This procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, with the solicitation technically open to all vendors, though CTS Cement Manufacturing has been identified as the sole feasible source due to the proprietary nature of their product. The procurement follows standard MoDOT single feasible source procurement protocols, which require public notice for purchases over $5,000 and additional advertising for purchases exceeding $25,000. No specific incumbent vendor information is provided beyond CTS Cement Manufacturing, and no explicit budget range or estimated total contract value is disclosed in the solicitation documents. Vendors can submit responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system or via hard copy, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination and payment terms to be vendor-specified. The solicitation emphasizes the cement's unique technical specifications and proven performance history as the primary basis for the single feasible source determination.
