Missouri Aeronautical Chart - Cartographic Design, Layout, and Printing

Solicitation MODOT 0000000397SL is a request for proposals from the Missouri Department of Transportation for the cartographic design, layout, and printing of the 2027-2028 Missouri Aeronautical Charts. This is a comprehensive service contract rather than a print-only agreement, requiring the contractor to utilize the most recent FAA Sectional Charts to ensure the accuracy of aeronautical data, obstruction towers, and other critical flight planning information. The contract period runs from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2029, with two optional one-year renewals. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the MissouriBUYS system by 2:00pm Central Time on November 16, 2026. The selected contractor must provide high-quality charts featuring specific folding requirements to a finished size of 5x11-1/2 inches, using a minimum four-color printing process on paper meeting U.S. Government printing office spec JCP O-91. Deliverables include blue-line and color proofs for approval within 10 business days of receiving materials, with final delivery expected 180 calendar days after a purchase order is issued. Strict packaging and palletization standards are mandated, including grouping charts in sets of 25 and limiting pallet height to 48 inches and weight to 1,600 pounds. Award decisions will be based on the best proposal, evaluated through a combination of objective analysis and subjective judgment. Evaluation criteria include cost (40 points), experience and reliability (30 points), method of performance (20 points), and the quality of printing samples (10 points). Offerors must submit a firm fixed price and complete several mandatory exhibits, including certifications regarding worker eligibility, the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act, and the Buy America Form for commodity purchases exceeding 25,000 dollars.
