Micro Market Equipment - Qualified Vendors List (QVL)

Solicitation DSS 0000000013SL is an Invitation for Bid to establish a Qualified Vendors List (QVL) for the Missouri Department of Social Services, specifically supporting the Family Support Division, Rehabilitation Services for the Blind. This non-exclusive Blanket Purchase Agreement aims to create a primary supply channel for micro market equipment, including self-pay kiosks and peripheral hardware such as scanners, payment terminals, and networking equipment, for various state and federal facilities throughout Missouri. The contract period runs for one year from the date of award. To be eligible, vendors must demonstrate at least one year of experience in automated retail or micro-market solutions and ensure all equipment is field-tested and fully compliant with ADA and Rehabilitation Services for the Blind standards. The award process utilizes a points-based system to determine the lowest and best bid, with bonus preference points available for certified Missouri service-disabled veteran business enterprises and honorably discharged veteran enterprises. Because this is a QVL, no actual pricing is submitted during the initial solicitation; instead, vendors enter a nominal fee for system purposes, and the Department will later issue quote requests to the qualified list. Key requirements include a minimum one-year parts and labor warranty on new equipment and shipping terms of F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed. Vendors must submit all required certifications, including business entity verification and debarment status, via the MissouriBUYS portal by October 30, 2026.
