The bid submission period runs from March 26, 2022, to April 7, 2022, at 2:00 PM CDT, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest and most responsive bidder meeting all mandatory specifications.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS system to participate, and for purchases over $25,000, a 10% price preference is available for goods manufactured or produced in the United States under the Domestic Products Procurement Act. The bid includes provisions for service-disabled veteran business preferences and requires compliance with the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act for contracts over $100,000. While no specific incumbent vendor is identified, the funding will be provided by the state of Missouri. Payment terms are set at Net 30 Days with Free on Board (FOB) Destination delivery, and electronic bid submission is preferred through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System. Though a specific budget is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single used refurbished tanker trailer, suggesting a focused and relatively contained procurement effort.
