Department of Revenue News Release

JEFFERSON CITY - The Missouri Office of Administration is now accepting management contract bids for the Palmyra License Office. Interested individuals and groups must submit their bids to operate the Palmyra License Office by June 12.

A copy of the Request for Proposal (RFP) bidders are required to use to develop their bids can be viewed here. Prospective bidders may also tour the Palmyra office from 4:45 to 5:45 p.m., May 27 to gain perspective on how a license office is operated.

In fiscal year 2013, more than 14,600 transactions were conducted at the Palmyra office, generating $48,754 in agent processing fees.

The Missouri Department of Revenue oversees 180 license offices which are each operated by independent agents. All of the license offices were put out for bid under the competitive procurement process in 2009. Contracts were awarded for one year with three one-year renewal options. The move toward a competitive procurement process of the license offices overhauled the way local motor vehicle and driver license offices are awarded and was one of the first actions of Gov. Jay Nixon's administration.

Bids will be evaluated on areas such as expertise of the personnel proposed, methods proposed for performing the services and whether the individual or entity is a not-for-profit, political subdivision, a Missouri Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), a Women Business Enterprise (WBE) or a Missouri Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise.
