The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is seeking a vendor to supply and deliver two 9-foot Tow Brooms, with one broom to be delivered to each of two maintenance facilities located in Kirksville and Lancaster, Missouri. The solicitation (IFB605NE25000558) requires the tow brooms to be new, of current production, and equivalent to MB 53H, Sweepster TBTH series, or comparable units. The bid period runs from September 10, 2024, to September 23, 2024, at 1:00 PM CDT, with delivery to be coordinated at least two business days in advance and requiring a MoDOT representative to be present for acceptance. The procurement will be awarded on an "All or Nothing" basis, meaning the entire order must be fulfilled by a single vendor. Pricing must include delivery costs (F.O.B. Destination), and payment will be made in full after complete delivery and receipt of a correct invoice, with no partial payments permitted.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with target participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE through various arrangements such as subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) enterprises are also encouraged to participate. For commodity purchases over $25,000, a 10% price preference will be given to goods manufactured or produced in the United States under the Buy American Act provisions. While no specific incumbent vendor is identified, the contract requires vendors to maintain adequate liability insurance naming the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) and MoDOT as additional insureds. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range, but vendors must submit pricing valid for 90 days from the bid opening and are required to register in the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System to participate.
