The Simpson County Board of Supervisors in Mississippi is conducting a procurement for one (1) 2025 new and unused Refuse Transport Semi-Dual Axle, Live Floor, 48' Trailer through a reverse auction process mandated by Mississippi State Law. The procurement involves written sealed bid submittal forms for specifications and warranties, with the initial submittal due on January 7, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. to either Central Bidding or the Simpson County Board of Supervisors. The electronic reverse auction will be conducted on January 8, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. through www.centralbidding.com, with final bid approval scheduled for January 15, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. during the Simpson County Board of Supervisors Meeting. All vendors must register with Central Bidding and accept their agreement to participate, and bid proposal/specification packets can be obtained from Central Bidding or Simpson County's Purchasing Clerk Regina Evans. Bids cannot be withdrawn for 30 days, and the county reserves the right to accept the bid deemed lowest and best for the county, with specifications to be submitted separately from the price bid.

The procurement does not specify any explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, all bidders must comply with the provided specifications and complete the required registration process with Central Bidding. The document does not provide a specific budget range or award value for the refuse transport semi-trailer procurement. Potential vendors will need to carefully review the detailed specifications and comply with the reverse auction process, which requires electronic bidding through the Central Bidding platform. The procurement is specific to Simpson County, though the opportunity was noted in the context of Tippah County's jurisdictional information, suggesting potential broader regional implications for the procurement process.
