Jones County Junior College is soliciting unpriced technical proposals for a Tractor Truck and Trailer, with technical proposals due August 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time and price competition via online reverse auction on August 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. The college actively encourages MBE and WBE submissions but does not establish a mandatory set-aside or participation goal.

The procurement employs a two-stage process: bidders must first submit technical proposals for evaluation; those deemed acceptable advance to the reverse auction phase where pricing is competitively bid online. Specifications and detailed bid instructions are available on the college's website at www.jcjcbids.com. Pricing will be accepted only through the online reverse auction mechanism specified in the bid documents.

Lee Balliet, CDL Instructor at Jones County Junior College, is the primary technical contact for questions regarding bid items. PH Bidding Group (662-407-0195 or bids@phbidding.com) handles questions on the bid process, electronic submission, and reverse auction procedures. The college reserves the right to extend the auction date if necessary to complete pre-qualification and reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive technicalities, solicit new bids, or select the bid deemed in its best interest. Bidders must indemnify and hold harmless the college from all losses, damages, expenses, claims, and actions resulting from failure to comply with bid provisions.
