All materials must conform to the Mississippi Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction of 2017 and amendments thereto, and must be sourced from MDOT-approved suppliers subject to testing by the MDOT Materials Division. Bidders must quote pricing in figures only for full truck load quantities, priced per ton or cubic yard, with delivery required the next business day after notification to job sites designated by the District Maintenance Engineer. Award will be made to all bidders meeting specifications, with selection based on lowest cost bidder for pickup purchases (considering line item pricing plus transportation costs) or lowest bidder able to deliver in a timely manner for delivered materials (based on line item pricing plus haul charges). All bids are binding for a minimum of 60 days after opening, and bidders must be duly qualified to do business and in good standing with the State of Mississippi throughout the contract term. Sealed bids are due by 10:30 AM CST on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at the William J. "Billy" McCoy Building, Procurement Division, 5th Floor, 401 N.

The solicitation includes an Economically Disadvantaged Veteran (EEV) certification attachment that establishes eligibility for veteran-owned businesses to receive consideration preferences or set-asides under Mississippi's procurement regulations. Vendors must register and manage product offerings through the MAGIC Supplier Self-Service portal system, enabling streamlined input, updating, and maintenance of product specifications, pricing, and availability information. Material failing to meet MDOT specifications will be returned at the vendor's expense, and failure to meet specifications on any purchase may result in award to the next eligible bidder for future purchases. The Mississippi Transportation Commission reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to award items to one or more companies, and to cancel any contract with 30 days written notice. No specific budget allocation or award value is stated in the solicitation documents; bidding will be conducted through the competitive sealed bid process with awards made to responsive and responsible bidders meeting all specifications and requirements.
