Tasmanian Diggers and parts

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southwest District has issued a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for Tasmanian Digger rotary augers and associated parts, with Accent Sales and Service Company identified as the sole-source, direct manufacturer. The procurement is specifically for the Southwest District and covers the procurement period from award through September 30, 2021. The solicitation, numbered SFS605SW21000479, was posted on September 16, 2020, with responses due by September 23, 2020, at 10:00 AM CDT. Vendors are encouraged to submit responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system, though hard copy submissions are also accepted. The procurement is governed by Missouri Code of State Regulation 7 CSR 10-11.020, which allows for sole-source procurement when supplies are proprietary and only available from a single manufacturer. Delivery will be made to specified Maintenance Facility locations within the Southwest District, with payment terms set at Net 30 days after receipt of a correct invoice.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents mentioned in the solicitation documents. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified, and no existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements are specified. The total estimated contract value is not disclosed in the solicitation documents. Freight charges will be billed as an additional cost on invoicing, and the solicitation notes that for purchases over $5,000, MoDOT must post notice of the proposed purchase, and for purchases over $25,000, additional advertising is required unless waived due to limited-time availability. While the solicitation is technically open to all vendors, the single feasible source determination effectively limits participation to Accent Sales and Service Company, as they are the sole manufacturer of the Tasmanian Digger rotary augers and parts. The procurement follows state regulations that permit sole-source purchasing when supplies are proprietary and only available from a single source.
