The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is conducting a sealed auction for the sale of one single wide trailer house located at the Trim Cane Wild Life Management Area in Starkville, Mississippi. The procurement is structured as a sealed bid opportunity, with bids due by 4:00 p.m. on August 21, 2024, at the Department's office in Jackson. The trailer, measuring 13' x 65', is being offered "as is" and will be awarded to the highest responsible bidder. Evaluation criteria will consider both the bid price and the bidder's capacity to transport the property. Bidders must submit sealed bids in an envelope clearly marked with specific bid details, and payment must be made by certified check within five days of the award. The successful bidder will be required to remove the trailer within seven business days of payment verification, with failure to do so potentially resulting in forfeiture of payment and the property being re-offered for sale or destroyed.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documents. The bid opportunity appears to be open to any qualified bidder who can meet the transportation and payment requirements. The document does not specify an incumbent vendor or existing infrastructure requirements. While no specific budget range is provided, the procurement is for a single used trailer, suggesting a relatively low-value transaction. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks reserves the right to reject any and all bids, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process. The bid opening will be public but will not include immediate discussion or award announcements. Interested parties must carefully follow the submission guidelines, including using a sealed envelope, providing complete bidder information, and understanding the strict payment and removal timelines.
