Freight Services Qualified Vendor List (QVL)

The State of Missouri is seeking vendors to provide freight services for various state agencies. The selected vendors will be added to a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) and will be required to provide freight services on an as-needed basis. The scope of work includes providing a diverse fleet of vehicles to accommodate the transport of surplus assets, including tools, office supplies, medical items, food, clothing, furniture, generators, heavy equipment, and vehicles. The contractor must have at least one year of experience providing freight services and must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those related to the transportation of hazardous materials. The contract will be for a period of one year, and the state agency reserves the right to add more contractors to the QVL after the initial award. Some key points to consider are: • The contractor must provide freight services with limited advanced notice, defined as 24 hours. • The contractor must securely stack and load surplus property and meet all deadlines identified by the state agency. • The contractor must comply with the applicable provisions of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). • The contractor's drivers must possess a current Commercial Driver License (CDL) and maintain a CDL in good standing for the duration of the contract.
