Description
The State of Missouri, Department of Corrections, Missouri Vocational Enterprises, is seeking vendors for a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) to provide vinyl, upholstery, and panel fabrics. The QVL will be used to establish contracts with multiple vendors for use on an as-needed basis. The contract period will be for one year, and the state agency reserves the right to cancel the contract if the vendor consistently fails to respond to price quote requests or fails to provide items at the price provided in the price quote response. The vendor must provide proof of compliance with the Buy American Act and complete various business compliance exhibits, including a "Vendor No Tax Due" certificate and registration with the Missouri Secretary of State. Key responsibilities include providing master catalogs, swatch cards, and sample materials for performance testing. The evaluation criteria will be based on cost, bonus points for Missouri Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise participation, and delivery requirements.
• The vendor must be registered in MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS, and achieve "Approved" registration status to be considered for a contract award.
• The vendor must provide pricing for the requested items based on the firm quantity, unit of measure, and any additional specifications identified in the price quote request.
• The vendor must apply available discounts and other promotional pricing that may apply to the agency's price quote request.
• The state agency reserves the right to reject all responses and not make an award.
• The state agency will document the evaluation justification regarding the award determination of the "lowest and best" price quote at the time the quote is awarded.
