Tasmanian Diggers and parts

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southwest District is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for Tasmanian Digger rotary augers and parts under solicitation number SFS605SW22001883. MoDOT has determined that Accent Sales and Service Company is the sole-source, direct manufacturer of these proprietary equipment and components. The procurement is specifically for the Southwest District and will be delivered to a designated Maintenance Facility location. The solicitation period runs from April 7, 2022, to April 14, 2022, at 1:00 PM CDT, with the contract performance period extending from award through April 30, 2022. Vendors are required to submit electronic responses through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system, and MoDOT will evaluate bids based on lowest and best bid criteria, considering price, vendor responsibility, and compliance with mandatory requirements. The evaluation will assess pricing information, and any proposed discounts for prompt payment will be considered during the selection process.

While the solicitation is technically open to all vendors, MoDOT has effectively identified Accent Sales and Service Company as the only viable provider due to the proprietary nature of the Tasmanian Digger. The procurement encourages minority and women-owned business participation, with goals of 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Specific requirements include completing exhibits for Buy American Act certification (for purchases over $25,000) and Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act certification (for contracts over $100,000). The documents do not specify an estimated total contract value, and no incumbent vendor is identified beyond Accent Sales and Service Company. Payment terms are set at Net 30 days after receipt of a correct invoice, with invoices to be submitted electronically to SWInvoices@modot.mo.gov. Freight charges will be considered an additional cost on the invoice.
