This is Addendum 1 from Ellisville State School, a Mississippi Department of Mental Health Facility, detailing the pre-qualification process for a reverse auction procurement. The RFQF will be advertised for 14 consecutive days according to Mississippi Code Ann. Section 31-7-13(c)(1)(1), with responses due on the 8th working day after the last day of advertisement. Ellisville State School will be responsible for defining product categories, adding bidders, and publishing bid documents on the procurement portal. After the opening date, they will review submissions to qualify bidders and determine starting prices for auction items.

Qualified bidders must meet RFX specifications and participate through the MAGIC system. Once qualified, vendors will be notified via email about their qualifications and the Live Auction date, after which they must review/ensure technical requirements for MAGIC participation. Pricing must remain firm for the contract term, though the State will receive the benefit of any price decreases exceeding 5%. Contractors must provide written notice of price reductions within 10 days of the effective date.
