The City of Hattiesburg, Mississippi has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to establish a pool of qualified electrical contractors for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) residential projects funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The procurement seeks contractors holding a valid Mississippi State Board of Contractors license with Electrical classification to provide electrical installation, repair, and replacement services for residential structures. The selected contractors must demonstrate capability to meet all state and federal requirements, comply with Mississippi law, adhere to HUD guidelines, and follow applicable building codes. Statements of Qualifications must be received by 10:00 A.M. on Thursday, April 23, 2026, submitted in sealed envelopes marked with the solicitation title and bid opening date to the City Clerk's Office, P.O. Box 1898, 200 Forrest Street, Hattiesburg, MS 39403-1898. The qualified applicants will form a contractor pool available for ongoing work on CDBG-funded residential projects. Technical assistance is available by contacting (601) 554-1006, and detailed specifications are available from the City Clerk's Office at (601) 545-4552. The solicitation was published in the legal section on Thursday, April 9, 2026, and Thursday, April 16, 2026.

No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other protected classifications are identified in this procurement. The solicitation does not reference any incumbent contractors or current service providers that would require continuity or transition considerations. No contract term duration, specific pricing information, budget range, or award value is specified in the Request for Qualifications. The City Council reserves the right to reject any or all qualifications received and to waive formalities in its discretion. As this is a qualifications-based procurement establishing a contractor pool rather than a fixed-price solicitation, individual project awards and compensation structures will likely be determined through subsequent task orders or project-specific agreements with selected pool members.
