Specific Rapid Set Cement

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for a specific rapid set cement from CTS Cement Manufacturing Corporation. The solicitation, identified as SFS605KC20000500, seeks a bulk cement product uniquely designed for patching dense road overlays with exceptional performance characteristics. The cement must be capable of reaching high compressive strengths within one to two hours and provide controlled cracking during application. The solicitation period runs from August 16, 2019 at 3:00 PM CDT through August 23, 2019 at 4:00 PM CDT, with a contract period extending from the award date through August 31, 2020. All vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to participate, and the contract will be awarded on a firm fixed pricing "low bid" basis with net 30-day payment terms. Responses can be submitted either electronically through MissouriBUYS or via hard copy submission, and deliveries may commence upon receipt of a purchase order or notice to proceed.

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) businesses are also invited to participate, though no mandatory set-aside exists. CTS Cement Manufacturing Corporation is identified as the sole source for this specific cement product, which has been extensively tested and deemed fully compatible with MoDOT's patching operations. The procurement follows Missouri Code of State Regulations 7 CSR 10-11.020 for single feasible source acquisitions. While no specific contract value is detailed in the documents, the solicitation indicates the procurement is for a specialized cement product to be used in roadway maintenance operations. The state reserves the right to make purchases using a state purchasing card (VISA), with no additional fees permitted for card transactions.
