The Biloxi Public School District (BPSD) in Mississippi is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the purchase and installation of eight relocatable classroom portables at North Bay Elementary School. The procurement encompasses removal and haul away of four existing modular classrooms, site preparation, delivery, and installation of new units, with bidders able to propose either eight single units (24' x 36") or four double units (28' x 60"). All proposed units must be new, ADA-compliant with restrooms, and equipped with self-contained wall-mounted HVAC systems meeting minimum specifications established by the Mississippi State Department of Education as revised May 18, 1990. Sealed proposals are due on May 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST and may be submitted physically to the BPSD Purchasing Department or electronically through centralbidding.com. Site visits are available between April 20-24, 2026, with the Board of Trustees expected to make a recommendation on May 19, 2026. Award will be made to the lowest and best responsive bidder meeting specifications and price considerations, contingent upon Board of Trustees approval and fund availability, with a desired start date as soon as possible following award. Pricing must remain firm for 45 days from bid receipt until purchase order issuance, and all vendors must provide current Certificates of Insurance with Workers Compensation and General Liability Coverage of not less than $1,000,000, with BPSD listed as an insurer.

Bidders must be currently approved by the Mississippi State Department of Education as vendors for relocatable classrooms, which represents a qualification restriction limiting responses to pre-approved suppliers. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documents. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the materials provided. Payment terms will be negotiated after contract award and are potentially structured as 25% upon board approval, 60% at delivery, and 15% upon punch list completion. The RFP does not specify a budget range or award value; however, the scope and complexity of the project involving multiple relocatable units with ADA compliance and HVAC systems suggests a substantial procurement. The BPSD reserves the right to waive formalities, reject any or all proposals, and accept alternative proposals deemed in the district's best interest.
