Steel Qualified Vendors List (QVL)

The State of Missouri, through the Department of Corrections and Missouri Vocational Enterprises, has issued a Request for Proposal - Commodity (RFPC) numbered RFPC30034902200153 to establish a Steel Qualified Vendors List (QVL). The solicitation seeks vendors capable of providing steel materials for delivery to various state locations, with the primary objective of creating a pool of qualified steel vendors for future purchases. The procurement is structured as an open solicitation running from July 30, 2021, at 4:00 PM CDT to August 13, 2021, at 2:00 PM CDT. Vendors are required to submit completed Exhibits A-E either as hard copies to the Division of Purchasing or electronically through the MissouriBUYS system. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination, with payment terms of Net 45 Days. Potential vendors must carefully download and review all solicitation documents through the MissouriBUYS system Overview tab and ensure timely submission of their responses. The point of contact for this solicitation is Ashley D Hensley, who can be reached at 573-751-3331 or ashley.hensley@oa.mo.gov.

The solicitation is open to all vendors without any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors are listed, and there are no specified details about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFPC does not provide an estimated total value or budget range for the potential contract. Vendors are solely responsible for downloading and reviewing the complete solicitation document and its attachments, and for submitting the required exhibits as part of their bid response. No specific line items or quantities are defined in the solicitation, suggesting a flexible procurement approach designed to establish a pool of qualified steel vendors for potential future purchases. The state's goal appears to be creating a comprehensive list of vendors capable of supplying steel materials to the Department of Corrections and Missouri Vocational Enterprises as needed.
