This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) document issued by the Mississippi State Hospital for the procurement of contract weekend registered nurses. The facility seeks to hire 15 contract weekend RNs across two departments: 5 positions for the Jaquith Nursing Home and 10 positions for Inpatient Psychiatric Services. The weekend schedule requires candidates to work Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with a minimum of two weekends per month at 24 to 40 hours per weekend, plus a minimum of 6 state-mandated holidays including either Christmas or Thanksgiving. Resume submissions are due by February 16, 2026, at noon. Required deliverables include resumes accompanied by three current signed letters of recommendation, proof of education, and proof of all certifications. The contract period runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Qualified applicants must possess an unrestricted Mississippi nursing license and current American Heart Association BLS and/or ACLS certifications, with TB or crisis prevention certification preferred. Resumes may be submitted by hand delivery to the Personnel Department at 3550 Highway 468 West, Whitfield, Mississippi 39193, or applicants can contact Katrina Fields at 601-351-8239 or Katrina.Fields@msh.ms.gov for additional information.

Compensation is set at $42 per hour with an anticipated average of 40 hours per week. The estimated total award value is approximately $87,360 annually for the full-year contract period, though actual costs will vary depending on the final number of hours worked across all 15 positions and the specific distribution of weekend assignments. The procurement documents do not specify any set-aside designations, restrictions on organizational types eligible to respond, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendor information. This procurement is for temporary staffing services rather than goods or systems implementation, and no existing infrastructure or technology integration is required.
