About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award issued by the Mississippi Department of Health for Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 3160008033 for Cessation Training and Nicotine Dependence Treatment Services. The procurement seeks a contractor to support the Office of Tobacco Control by implementing evidence-based tobacco cessation training aligned with CDC Best Practices and PHS Clinical Guidelines. Key deliverables include facilitating two annual Tobacco Treatment Specialists workshops in virtual format statewide, providing educational sessions to Community Mental Health Centers, delivering residency trainings on pharmacotherapy and tobacco dependency, presenting at Mississippi Tobacco-Free Coalition trainings and annual statewide grantee meetings, and promoting Mississippi Quitline services. The bid submission deadline was June 3, 2026 at 10:00 am Central Standard Time, with the Notice of Intent to Award issued on July 6, 2026. The contractor must maintain staffing resources including one faculty position at 0.2 FTE for clinical training and a clinical/business operations director at 0.15 FTE, manage continuing education credits, submit monthly event calendars and quarterly reports, and maintain appropriate insurance coverage. The contract will commence upon execution and approval with potential renewal at MSDH's discretion for one-year periods, not exceeding five years total.
Two bidders submitted responses: Visionaires Corp. at $65,700.00 and University of Mississippi Medical Center at $72,000.00. Visionaires Corp. was deemed non-responsive and non-responsible and declined the contract award, resulting in the award to University of Mississippi Medical Center as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder at $72,000.00. Bidders had an opportunity to request reconsideration by July 10, 2026, by submitting written requests to Dr. Dorthy Young and Teselyn Funches identifying alleged violations of procurement rules, regulations, or IFB terms with specific factual basis and documentation of how violations affected procurement outcomes. No incumbent vendors were identified. Payment will be made electronically within forty-five calendar days of invoice receipt, with monthly invoicing required by the 15th of each month. The contract is subject to availability of appropriated funds from the Mississippi State Legislature, and the contractor must execute a Business Associate Agreement to handle Protected Health Information under HIPAA regulations with compliance to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 Moderate baseline controls and specified encryption standards.

IFB No. 3160008033
The request shall contain the requesting vendor’s name, a single contact person, all contact information for the contact person, the RFx number of the solicitation, the date the IFB was issued, and the date the Notice of Intent to Award was issued. The request shall identify which of these rules and regulations and/or the terms of the IFB the requesting bidder believes were violated by the Agency during the bid evaluation process, explain the factual basis for the alleged violation(s), and specify how the alleged violation(s) affected the outcome of the procurement. The request shall not be based on anything other than the Agency Procurement File, these rules and regulations, and the terms of the solicitation. The request shall not be supplemented. Exhibits shall not be included with the request. Rather, the requesting vendor shall clearly identify the portion(s) of the Agency Procurement File and/or the IFB at issue in the request.
Reference to documents outside of or facts not supported by the Agency Procurement File or the IFB shall not be considered by the Agency when responding to the request. If the requesting bidder believes the Agency Procurement File posted on the Agency website is incomplete (i.e., does not contain a document or documents required by these rules and regulations), the requesting bidder shall so state in the request and shall specify what it believes to be missing. Should the requesting bidder believe the trade secrets and/or confidential commercial and financial information which were redacted from the Agency Procurement File posted on the Agency website contain issues related to its request, the requesting bidder shall state those concerns in the request – even if speculative – in a manner which is specific enough for the Agency to provide a response.
