Prescription Safety Eyewear Program

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) are seeking bids for a Prescription Safety Eyewear Program under a Blanket Purchase Agreement. The program aims to provide safety-sensitive, full-time employees with quality prescription protective eyewear. The initial award period runs from November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2027, with the possibility of four additional one-year extensions. The selected contractor must maintain a network of at least ten service providers evenly distributed across each Missouri district and provide a display set of eyewear to each district. All eyewear must meet or exceed the ANSI Z87-2020 standard, with frames stamped with a Z87+ label on the front and temples. Lenses must be impact-tested and meet specific thickness requirements, generally 3.0 mm or 2.0 mm for polycarbonate. The contractor must provide a minimum one-year warranty for frames and lenses at no cost. Bids are evaluated primarily on price, and the award will be granted to the lowest and best bid that complies with all mandatory specifications and Missouri statutes. Bids must be submitted by October 1, 2026, via the MissouriBUYS portal or by mail, provided the buyer is notified five days in advance for hard copy submissions. Required documentation includes a detailed pricing page (Exhibit A), worker eligibility affidavits, and certifications regarding the Domestic Products Procurement Act and the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act. Invoicing is to be handled monthly by district, with payments made in arrears. Shipping terms are specified as FOB destination freight prepaid.
