The contract is structured as a subcontract under the Procurement Office of the Missouri Department of Purchasing, with the place of performance not specified but likely tied to Missouri-based operations. While no set-aside designation is provided, the focus remains squarely on facilitating equitable access for certified MBEs and WBEs.
