If you have a product or service that you wish our office to consider, we are asking you to provide the answers to the following questions, and then to submit them by email to homeland.security@dps.mo.gov. This will help us to establish our level of interest, or to better guide you to those who are responsible for the procurement decision. We will contact you if we have any further questions.

(1.) What is your product or service, and how does it relate to homeland security?

(2.) Who are your customers? (State government, local governments, private sector, other?) What other states are using your product, and are you aware of federal funding opportunities to purchase your product?

(3.) Does your product or service add value every day, or is it designed solely for counter-terrorism? Please tell us how it adds value every day.

(4.) Why does your product or service deserve to be a priority? Please list other priorities in the specific area of homeland security where your product or service fits.

(5.) Are there competitors you wish to disclose, and what is the business case that distinguishes your product or service?

This office is not in the business of procurement but we are interested in helping to determine and shape our state’s requirements. The State of Missouri’s Division of Purchasing and Materials Management is responsible for procurement of all state required supplies, materials, equipment and professional or general services. More information can be found at their website at http://www.oa.mo.gov/purch/

Thank you for your cooperation.
