MO SB871

Increases the threshold for requiring competitive bids from $4,500 to $6,000 for county and township purchases of supplies, materials, equipment, or services.

Increases the threshold for single feasible source purchases requiring notification from $3,000 to $6,000, and requires posting notice in at least one daily and one weekly newspaper at least ten days before the contract is let.

Removes the previous requirement that counties must advertise single feasible source purchases when estimated expenditure is $5,000 or over, instead establishing a single $6,000 threshold for notification.

Maintains existing provisions allowing county commissions to waive competitive bids when a single feasible source is determined for supplies, including proprietary items, regional distributor limitations, or limited-time discounts.
