The document is a state procurement solicitation issued by the Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration's Office of Purchasing, Travel and Fleet Management for a nonexclusive contract to supply Incontinence Care Products. The solicitation seeks proposals for adult and children's disposable briefs, diapers, guards, pads, liners, underpads, wipes, cleansers, moisturizers, skin protectants, and odor eliminators, targeting state agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, and other political subdivisions within Mississippi. Proposals were required to be submitted electronically between December 1 and December 15, 2015, with a contract term of 12 months spanning from March 1 through February 28, and vendors were mandated to maintain firm pricing throughout the contract period.

The procurement is structured as a multiple-source agreement with no guaranteed purchase quantities, preferring contracts directly with manufacturers and requiring authorized dealers to be explicitly listed. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to supply products across multiple jurisdictions and maintain a minimum purchase volume exceeding $25,000 for two consecutive years to qualify for contract renewal. Pricing must be competitive with GSA contracts, other state governments, and large commercial customers, with delivery terms set as F.O.B. Destination and freight prepaid. The state will process electronic payments within 45 days without penalty, and purchases over $50,000 may require obtaining two competitive quotes from authorized dealers. While no specific budget range is provided, the contract appears designed to accommodate significant statewide procurement of incontinence care products across various public sector entities.
