The contract period extends from the Notice of Contract Award through an initial one-year term, with options for up to two additional one-year renewal periods, potentially providing a three-year contract term at the department's sole discretion. Responses were due by May 19, 2026 at 3:00 PM Central Time, with bid opening scheduled for the same date at 8:00 PM. No pre-bid conference or site visit has been scheduled for this procurement. All prospective vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS electronic procurement system (powered by MOVERS) to be considered for contract award, and vendors are required to complete all necessary business compliance exhibits and secure required verifications immediately upon receipt of the solicitation. Payment terms are immediate with FOB shipping, and the contractor must maintain adequate liability insurance naming MoDOT as an additional insured, with no price increases permitted during the first six months of the contract period.

This procurement is subject to Buy American compliance requirements, as evidenced by the required submission of the Buy American Form. As a sole-source contract award, competitive bidding procedures were not conducted, with MoDOT determining that Accent Sales and Service Company is the only qualified source capable of supplying the Tasmanian Digger and its parts to meet the department's specific operational requirements.
