Penalties for non-compliance include contract cancellation, potential fines between $1,000 and $10,000, and ineligibility for state contracts. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the procurement requires dealer representatives to provide factory-trained inspection upon delivery, with warranty service locations mandatory within Mississippi.
