The Jackson Public School District in Hinds County, Mississippi is conducting a sealed bid sale of surplus vacant real property in accordance with Mississippi Code Annotated 37-7-455. This procurement involves the sale of eleven separate parcels or parcel groups totaling approximately 44.79 acres across Jackson, Mississippi, with zoning designations ranging from single-family residential to light industrial and special use districts. Prospective bidders must submit sealed bids by 10:00 a.m. Central Time on March 3, 2026, and bids must meet or exceed appraised values ranging from $3,500 to $220,000 per parcel. All bids must be submitted on the District's official bid form and accompanied by earnest money equal to at least ten percent of the minimum offer amount in the form of a certified check drawn on a Mississippi bank and made payable to the Jackson Public School District. Prospective bidders must contact the Office of the Chief Operations Officer (Attention: Earl Burke, 662 South President Street, Jackson, MS 39201, Phone: 601-960-8700) to obtain legal descriptions, official bid forms, and any addenda, and bidders are solely responsible for securing all bid materials and inspecting the properties prior to submission. The District intends to sell properties outright on an "as is" basis for cash; however, bidders may submit alternative proposals for joint development or long-term leases consistent with applicable Mississippi law, and the winning bidder must work in good faith with the District to close the sale within 30 days of award.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are mentioned in the procurement documents. The Board of Trustees reserves the right to reject all bids, issue addenda, negotiate with any bidder, or offer the property at public auction or through alternative lawful means if the properties are not sold through this sealed bid process. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in this real property sale opportunity. The possible award values range from $3,500 to $220,000 per parcel, with the total portfolio value dependent on which parcels receive successful bids meeting or exceeding their appraised values. Additional property photos and details are available on the District's website at www.jackson.k12.ms.us under the JPS Repurposing Initiative to assist potential bidders in evaluating the opportunities.
