The Mississippi Department of Revenue's Alcoholic Beverage Control is seeking to procure an Impaired Driving and Pursuit Driving Simulator through a formal Request for Quote (RFQF) with Bid Number 3140004181. The procurement is specifically for a comprehensive driving simulator package to be used by Mississippi Alcoholic Beverage Control Enforcement Agents, with detailed technical requirements including a 240-degree field of view, adjustable driver's seat, automotive-style cockpit, multiple monitors, and advanced software capabilities for impaired driving training scenarios. The simulator must fit within a specific enclosed trailer and include an instructor operator system, comprehensive software options, hardware components, and content packages. Vendors must be registered with the State of Mississippi and submit a proposal meeting precise technical specifications. The bid will be accepted until May 8, 2025, at 12:00 P.M. Central Standard Time, with a projected award date of June 5, 2025. Evaluation will be conducted through a reverse auction process, with vendors qualifying based on meeting the technical and operational requirements specified in the solicitation.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The successful vendor will be responsible for delivering the simulator to Clinton, MS, and providing up to 16 hours of onsite training for up to 10 employees within 60 days of installation acceptance. The contract requires a minimum one-year manufacturer's warranty and includes provisions for lifetime customer support and software updates. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement includes an unlimited use license for the system while owned and operated by the State of Mississippi. The comprehensive nature of the simulator, including its advanced training capabilities for impaired and pursuit driving scenarios, suggests a significant investment in law enforcement training technology. Vendors must provide a complete package including the driving simulator, software, hardware, content packages, and installation services, indicating a complex and potentially high-value procurement opportunity.
