Benton County, Mississippi is conducting a public bid procurement for the sale of used vehicles and equipment through a sealed bid process. The county is offering six specific vehicles for sale, including a 16' trailer, two Ford Crown Victoria models (2009 and 2010), a 2013 Dodge Charger, a 1988 International truck, and a 1993 Ford vehicle. Sealed bids will be received at the Benton County Chancery Clerk's office located at P.O. Box 218 in Ashland, Mississippi, with a strict submission deadline of 9:00 AM on Monday, August 29, 2025. Interested bidders can inspect the vehicles by contacting the Benton County Sheriff's Office at 662-224-8941 or Chris Shoup at 662-224-5007 prior to the bid submission. The Board of Supervisors has reserved the right to reject any or all bids, waive bid formalities, and accept bids deemed in the best interest of the county, with the sale to be conducted on a cash basis to the highest bidder.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. One notable detail is that the 2010 Ford Crown Victoria is being sold as salvage only and will not include a title. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the sale is structured as a competitive bidding process where potential buyers will submit cash offers for the used vehicles and equipment. The resolution was unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors and signed by James Lowry, the Board President, indicating official county authorization for the sale. Potential bidders should be prepared to submit cash bids and understand that the county maintains significant discretion in accepting or rejecting proposals based on their assessment of the county's best interests.
