The Mississippi Department of Mental Health (MDMH) has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for professional accounting and auditing services related to the administration and compliance of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). MDMH was appropriated approximately $51M in SLFRF funds and seeks a contractor to assist with reviewing policies and procedures, verifying eligibility, coordinating initiatives and budget modifications, reviewing procurements and claims, assisting with audits and reporting, and identifying and mitigating fraud, waste, or abuse of the funds. The successful contractor must have assurance of no conflicts of interest, performance by licensed CPAs, and relevant experience in federal grant compliance, ethics, fraud identification, and fund oversight. A cost proposal must be provided, and the contractor must agree to execute a contract within 14 business days of award. MDMH plans to award a contract to the most qualified and responsible respondent, but no contract is guaranteed. Proposals must be received by September 6, 2024.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not provide any information about possible award values or budget ranges.
