1464-25-R-IFBD-00006

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks has issued an Invitation for Sealed Bids (Contract #1464-25-R-IFBD-00006) for the auction of a single wide trailer house located at the Trim Cane Wildlife Management Area in Starkville, Montgomery County. The procurement involves the sale of a surplus 13' x 65' trailer that will be sold in an "as is" condition, with the highest responsible bidder being awarded the property. Sealed bids must be submitted by October 1, 2024, at 2:00 p.m., with bidders required to provide a certified check as payment. The successful bidder must remove the trailer within 7 business days of payment verification, and the award will be based on the highest bid price and the bidder's demonstrated ability to transport the property. Key evaluation criteria include bid price, transportation capability, and compliance with submission requirements. No personal checks will be accepted, and failure to remove the property within the specified timeframe may result in forfeiture of payment and potential re-sale or destruction of the trailer.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder qualifications, appearing to be open to any interested party capable of meeting the basic requirements. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are mentioned in the documentation. While a specific budget range is not provided, the procurement is structured as an auction, meaning the final value will be determined by the highest sealed bid received. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informalities in the bidding process. Bidders are invited to attend the public bid opening, though no discussions will be entertained at that time. The agency's primary objectives appear to be efficiently disposing of surplus property and obtaining fair market value for the trailer through a competitive sealed bidding process.
