The State of Missouri has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to establish a Qualified Vendors List (QVL) for statewide procurement of bath tissue and paper towel products. The solicitation (RFPC30034902201503) seeks vendors to supply these products to various state agency locations throughout Missouri for the contract period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. Interested vendors must submit their proposals electronically through the MissouriBUYS system by March 8, 2022 at 2:00 PM CST. The RFP requires vendors to complete and submit Exhibits A through G as part of their proposal package, which will demonstrate their ability to meet the state's requirements. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination to state agency locations, with payment terms set at Net 45 days. While the solicitation does not specify exact quantities or line items, vendors must carefully review all attachments and specifications to ensure a comprehensive response. The state will evaluate proposals to create a list of qualified vendors who can provide bath tissue and paper towel products during the contract period.

The RFP does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, small business preferences, or restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no apparent limitations on which types of organizations can submit proposals. The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors capable of meeting the state's requirements. No estimated total contract value or budget range is provided in the available documents. The contract will result in a Qualified Vendors List, suggesting multiple vendors may be selected to provide bath tissue and paper towel products to Missouri state agencies during the contract period. Vendors will be expected to comply with the state's terms and conditions, complete all required exhibits, and be prepared to fulfill orders as needed by various state agencies throughout Missouri.
