Notice of Opportunity to Request Reconsideration:

An offeror who responded to this IFB has an opportunity to request that MSDH reconsider its intent to award the contract to a specific offeror. Any such request shall be sent in writing to Dr. Dorthy Young, Assistant Senior Deputy and Chief Procurement Officer at PROCUREMENT@msdh.ms.gov and Teselyn Funches, Director of OPSCR, at Teselyn.Funches@dfa.ms.gov by Thursday, August 6, 2026. It shall be the sole responsibility of the requesting offeror to ensure the request is timely received by all required parties. Failure to timely request reconsideration in compliance with this Section results in waiver of any claim a bidder may have as to the Agency’s decision to award the contract.

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.

Notice of Agency Procurement File on Website:

The Procurement File can be found on the Agency website at www.msdh.ms.gov in the Procurements/Grants section.

The successful vendor is instructed not to begin work, purchase materials, or enter into subcontracts relating to the project or services until execution of the contract.

We appreciate your interest in doing business with the State of Mississippi.
