Two Way Radios

The Missouri Department of Social Services (DSS), specifically the Division of Youth Services, is seeking sealed bids for a Request for Quote (RFQ DSS24009) to procure two-way radios and accessories. The procurement opportunity is open from July 3, 2024, to July 17, 2024, with bids due by 2:00 PM CDT on the closing date. Vendors must submit one electronic copy of their response via email to Craig Fishback, including pricing for six line items of two-way radios and a firm, fixed discount for additional radio accessories. The RFQ requires vendors to quote all pricing FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed, with Net 45 Days payment terms. Vendors must complete and sign the contract signature portion, including Exhibits #1 and #2, and provide pricing for both the original and potential renewal contract periods. The Department reserves the right to purchase items from alternative sources if deemed in their best interest and will evaluate bids based on the most advantageous offer.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. While the total estimated contract value is not specified, the procurement covers two-way radios and accessories for the Department of Social Services and Division of Youth Services, serving jurisdictions including Clark County and Jefferson City in Missouri. The contract will have an initial term with potential renewal periods, and pricing during renewal periods will remain the same as the original contract period if renewal prices are not provided. Vendors are expected to offer competitive pricing and complete all required documentation to be considered for the award.
