Walk-Through Weapons Detection System with an X-Ray Scanner Component

The State of Missouri, through the Office of Administration, Division of Purchasing, is soliciting proposals for a turnkey walk-through weapons detection system with an X-ray scanner component to be installed at the Missouri State Capitol Building and the Governor's Mansion in Jefferson City. The system must be capable of detecting, classifying, and locating weapons on individuals without requiring them to empty their pockets, utilizing a WLAN network for real-time threat resolution and providing at least 30 days of data storage. Vendors may propose two procurement options: a purchased solution involving the acquisition of three single-lane weapons detection systems and one X-ray scanner with subsequent maintenance agreements, or a leased solution where all maintenance and repairs are included in the annual lease cost. The contract includes an initial period with the possibility of three additional one-year renewal options. The award will be based on the lowest and best vendor, determined by a combination of a pass/fail compliance review and a cost evaluation of the chosen procurement option. Preference points are available for vendors adhering to the Buy American Act, as well as bonus points for commitments to nonprofit organizations for the blind or sheltered workshops. Proposals must be submitted electronically via MissouriBUYS by October 12, 2026. Required documentation includes various business compliance exhibits, tax certifications, and a notarized Affidavit of Work Authorization. All equipment must be shipped FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed, and the contractor must comply with federal and state non-discrimination laws and federal funding requirements, including the 2 CFR Part 200 guidelines.
