The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is soliciting sealed bids for the sale of one surplus cottage located at Buccaneer State Park, 1150 S Beach Blvd, Waveland, MS 39576. This is an invitation for sealed bids procurement whereby the department seeks to divest surplus real property through open competitive bidding. The cottage is being offered in "as is" condition, and prospective bidders are encouraged to conduct site visits upon request to evaluate the property. Sealed bids must be received by 2:00 p.m. CST on March 11, 2026 (revised from the original March 10 deadline via addendum) at the department's office located at 1505 Eastover Drive, Jackson, MS 39211-6374, with public bid opening to occur immediately thereafter. Interested parties may submit written clarification requests to the Asset Management Office at johnlee@wfp.ms.gov no later than five business days prior to the bid opening. Awards will be made to the highest responsible bidder meeting specifications, with evaluation criteria including bid price and the bidder's demonstrated ability to transport the property within the allotted timeframe. The awarded bidder must remit payment via certified check (payable to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks) no later than five business days after award notification and must remove the property no later than seven business days following payment verification, or forfeit payment and allow for property re-sale or destruction.

There are no indicated set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to specific types of organizations or disadvantaged enterprises; the procurement appears open to all qualified bidders. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the solicitation materials. The procurement is restricted exclusively to the listed cottage contents and does not include any other state park property or additional real estate holdings of the State of Mississippi. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation documents; the sale price will be determined through competitive sealed bidding with the highest responsible bid prevailing. The department reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive any informality, and define equals. In the event of force majeure events preventing the advertised bid opening, all bids will be publicly opened and read aloud on the next business day the agency is operational at the previously advertised time, with bidders deemed to have accepted these provisions upon submission.
