Jackson Public School District, Hinds County, Mississippi is soliciting sealed bids for the sale of approximately 14 parcels of surplus vacant real property under Miss. Code Ann. 37-7-455, with bids due October 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. This is a real property disposition, not a goods or services procurement.

The parcels range from 0.15 to 121.27 acres across multiple locations in Jackson and are zoned for residential, commercial, industrial, and special use purposes. Prospective bidders must obtain legal descriptions, official bid forms, and any addenda from the Office of the Chief Operations Officer at 662 South President Street, Jackson, Mississippi 39201, or by calling (601) 960-8700. Bidders are responsible for inspecting all properties before submitting bids.

Appraised values range from $3,500 to $655,000 per parcel. Only bids at or above 50 percent of the appraised value for each parcel will be considered. Earnest money of at least 10 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, must accompany each bid. Bids must be submitted on the District's official bid form; all other forms will be deemed non-responsive and rejected.

The District intends to close the sale within 30 days of award. Alternative proposals for joint development or long-term lease arrangements consistent with Mississippi law are permitted. All bids remain firm until acted upon by the Board of Trustees. The District reserves the right to reject all bids, issue addenda, negotiate with any party, or alternatively offer the property at public auction or through other lawful means if the property does not sell pursuant to this notice.
