ADDENDUM 1 - PRE-QUALIFICATION PROCESS.pdf

This is Addendum 1 detailing the pre-qualification process for a reverse auction being conducted by Ellisville State School in Mississippi. The RFQF (Request for Quote Formal) is being advertised for 14 consecutive days according to Mississippi Procurement Manual Section 3.106.05.4, with responses due on the 8th working day after the last day of advertisement. The school will be responsible for defining product categories, adding bidders, and publishing bid documents to the procurement portal. After the Opening Date, Ellisville State School will review submissions to qualify bidders and determine starting prices for reverse auction items.

Bidder responses must be submitted through MAGIC (Mississippi's Accountability System for Government Information and Collaboration) and meet RFX specifications to qualify for participation in the auction. Prices submitted shall remain firm for the contract term, though the State shall receive the benefit of any price decrease exceeding 5%, which must be reported within 10 days of taking effect. Once qualified, bidders will be notified via email about their qualification status and the Live Auction date, and must review/ensure technical requirements for MAGIC have been met or confirm participation in person.
