Missouri Revised Statutes Title IV. Executive Branch § 37.900. Statewide elected officials may request determination of lowest and best bidder, procedure

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

1. Any statewide elected official may request the office of administration to determine the lowest and best bidder with respect to any contract for purchasing, printing, or services for which the official has the authority to contract.

2. The official shall submit the original request for proposal and any pertinent information explaining the evaluation criteria established in the request and any additional information the official deems necessary.

3. The office of administration shall not be required to inquire of or negotiate with any offeror submitting a bid and shall only be required to reply to the elected official within forty-five days after the submission of the request by naming the offeror the office of administration determines to be the lowest and best bidder based on all submitted documents.

1 Editor’s note: L.2010, S.B. No. 844, was declared unconstitutional as a violation of the original purpose requirement of Art. III, § 21, of the Constitution of Missouri, in Legends Bank v. State, 361 S.W.3d 383 (Mo. banc). This section and section 34.048 were severed from S.B. No. 844 and remain valid.
