The vendor is solely responsible for ensuring timely submission of their electronic solicitation response. Failure to allow adequate time prior to the solicitation end date to complete and submit a response to a solicitation, particularly in the event technical support assistance is required, places the vendor and their response at risk of not being accepted on time.
If a vendor does not have electronic accessibility to submit an electronic bid response, the vendor must contact the bid’s buyer of record at least five (5) days prior to the due date of the bid to determine if an alternate process is available to accept the vendor’s bid. However, at this time under the current circumstances, electronic bid submission is the only certain way to be able to submit your bid response.
The passage of House Bill 2400 during the 101st General Assembly, 2nd Regular Session (2022), creates “The Personal Privacy Protection Act,”section 105.1500, RSMo. The effective date of the Act is August 28, 2022. The Act makes all “personal information” of a 501(c) in the possession of a public agency a closed record under chapter 610 RSMo. In order to avoid violation of the new law, effective August 28, 2022, bid and contract records available in the Division of Purchasing’s Awarded Bid and Contract Document Search and posted on the MissouriBUYS Contract Board will be removed from public access.
The requestor will be notified when the necessary review and applicable redactions for compliance with section 105.1500 RSMo have been completed and the documents have been uploaded to the Awarded Bid and Contract Document Search website. Please Note: Due to the anticipated volume of requests resulting from these measures taken to ensure compliance with section 105.1500 RSMo, requestor may experience an extensive wait time for document availability.
