The Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration's Office of Purchasing, Travel and Fleet Management is soliciting proposals for a non-exclusive contract to supply outboard motors to various state and local government entities. The procurement opportunity, identified by solicitation number 1130-17-R-NBID-00034, seeks to establish a contract for state agencies, boards, commissions, departments, institutions, counties, municipalities, school districts, and other political subdivisions within Mississippi. The contract will run from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017, with proposals due by August 15, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. CST. Deliverables include the provision of outboard motors with specified F.O.B. Destination and Freight Prepaid terms. Entities making purchases over $50,000 may seek two competitive quotes from authorized dealers on the manufacturer's contract. Pricing must remain firm for the contract term, with provisions for price reductions in case of general market decline. The contractor will be required to provide a comprehensive price list for authorized purchasers.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly outlined in the available documentation. The contract does not guarantee a minimum purchase quantity, providing flexibility for participating agencies. While no incumbent vendors were specifically identified, the contract allows for multiple authorized dealers to potentially supply outboard motors. The procurement appears to be open to manufacturers and authorized dealers capable of meeting the state's requirements for outboard motor supply. Although specific budget ranges were not detailed, the contract structure suggests the potential for significant procurement across various state and local government entities. The payment terms are established at Net 45 days without penalty, and notably, no Federal Excise Tax or Mississippi Sales Tax will be added to the proposed prices. The contract is designed to provide a streamlined purchasing mechanism for government entities seeking outboard motors during the specified contract period.
