Procurement information
How Missouri defense work gets procured.
The common contracting vehicles for defense engineering and construction in Missouri. Match your scope, schedule, and risk profile to the vehicle before issuing an RFQ.
Missouri agency RFP / RFQ
Public-sector defense scopes are typically procured through Missouri agency RFP or RFQ vehicles, with pre-qualification and SBE/DBE participation requirements.
Federal IDIQ vehicles
Federally funded defense programs (DOE, DOT, USACE, EPA) are commonly executed under IDIQ contracts with task-order pricing on Missouri sites.
Master Service Agreements
Operators in Missouri engage engineering and EPC firms under multi-year MSAs covering capital, sustaining, and emergency response defense scopes.
EPC and EPCM
Greenfield and major brownfield defense projects in Missouri are routinely delivered under lump-sum EPC or reimbursable EPCM contracts with a single integrated team.
Owner's engineer
Owners retain independent defense P.E.s in Missouri for design review, constructability, schedule and cost validation, and on-site representation through commissioning.
Direct P.E. engagement
Smaller Missouri defense scopes — feasibility, study, peer review, expert testimony — are engaged directly with a licensed P.E. on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis.
Typical fee range
$defense engineering fees in Missouri typically run 4–10% of TIC for greenfield work and 8–15% for brownfield/modernization scopes.
Lead time
Expect 2–6 weeks from RFQ to a signed engagement for well-scoped Missouri defense work; complex EPC awards typically run 8–16 weeks.
Compliance
Missouri requires P.E. licensure on sealed deliverables; firms must hold a Missouri Certificate of Authorization where applicable.
