Utility Truck Bed

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for the procurement of a utility bed for a 2024 Chevy 2500 Regular Cab with an 8' bed. The solicitation, with number SFS605NW24002378, identifies Bonnett Trailer Sales & Service as the sole source capable of providing the required utility bed. The procurement is specifically for a utility truck bed that must be delivered and invoiced before June 7, 2024, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination. The solicitation is open from May 22, 2024, at 4:00:00 PM CDT to May 29, 2024, at 3:00:00 PM CDT, with all vendor responses to be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System. Evaluation criteria include compliance with mandatory specifications, pricing, vendor responsibility, and other factors determined by MoDOT. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best bidder that meets all required specifications, and MoDOT reserves the right to reject any and all bids.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with target participation rates of 10% MBE and 5% WBE through various arrangements such as subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. While no specific incumbent vendor information is provided beyond Bonnett Trailer Sales & Service, the procurement is open to all vendors who can potentially contest the single feasible source determination by providing information about their ability to supply the required commodity. The contractor must maintain adequate liability insurance, with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) and MoDOT to be named as additional insureds. No specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated in the documents. The contract will be subject to Missouri state regulations, specifically section 7 CSR 10-11.020(5)(C), which governs single feasible source procurement, and will comply with the state's Domestic Products Procurement Act, potentially offering a 10% price preference for American-made products.
