About this file

This document is Addendum 1 for Request for Proposal (RFP) 25-36 issued by the University of Southern Mississippi on 5 March 2025. The addendum provides clarifications and answers to questions submitted by prospective bidders regarding an upcoming technology procurement. The document addresses three specific inquiries: online submission procedures for the bid, clarification about blockchain requirements, and explanation of a required CP1 document for technology purchases.

Key details include guidance for bidders to contact the State of Mississippi (mash@dfa.ms.gov) for online submission assistance and a reference link (https://www.ms.gov/dfa/contract_bid_search/Home/Sell). The addendum explicitly confirms that blockchain requirements have been removed from the original bid, despite a previous mention in deliverables documentation. Additionally, the document explains that a CP1 document is mandatory for technology purchases and must be obtained prior to bid solicitation, as required by the State of Mississippi's procurement regulations.

1. Perhaps you can direct me to a person who can show me how to submit online as the link from your site doesn’t take me to that site.

a. As the online submission portal is run by the State of Mississippi, you will need to reach out to the state at mash@dfa.ms.gov.

b. You should also be able to locate a lot of helpful information at the following link:

https://www.ms.gov/dfa/contract_bid_search/Home/Sell.

2. The Blockchain Requirements were removed but there is still a mention of it in the first deliverables: “A complete architectural design document detailing how the system integrates all components shall be delivered (AI, blockchain, simulation tools, etc.).” I want to confirm the blockchain requirement is not included.

a. The blockchain is not included in this bid. Please disregard the mention of blockchain in bid 25-36.

3. Under bid attachments there are three docs to download that include the legal notice and the bid request, but also a PDF: CP1NO20250331 Can you tell me why this is posted here?

a. It is required by the State of Mississippi to obtain a CP1 on this purchase prior to the bid solicitation. This may be updated after the bid award, but the solicitation without a CP1 on technology purchases are prohibited.
