The Mississippi State Department of Health is requesting proposals for developing a regionalized approach to Emergency Medical Services provision in Mississippi, with proposals due July 24, 2026.

The scope centers on designing and implementing the necessary elements of a regionalized EMS system across the state. The contractor will operate as an independent contractor responsible for all associated costs, including employment taxes, insurance, and benefits.

The contract incorporates Mississippi state procurement regulations and establishes payment through electronic remittance within 45 calendar days of invoice receipt. MSDH retains the right to terminate for convenience with 10 business days' notice or for default with a 30-day cure period. The contractor must comply with Mississippi's E-Verification requirements for employee eligibility, maintain quality control documentation, indemnify MSDH against infringement claims, and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws including equal opportunity employment policies and public records disclosure requirements. MSDH retains full audit and record inspection rights for three years after final payment, or six years if records contain protected health information.
