This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the Board of Supervisors of Sunflower County, Mississippi for the procurement of natural gas services. The contracting agency is seeking to establish fixed price contracts with qualified suppliers to provide natural gas services to various state agencies, universities, and other eligible entities across the state of Mississippi. The RFQ outlines the scope of work, including requirements for firm fixed pricing, volume estimates, delivery points, and contract term. Responses are due by September 3, 2024, and the contracts are expected to have an initial term of 2 years with up to 3 additional 1-year renewal options. The pricing must be inclusive of all costs, and no fuel adjustment charges or other surcharges will be allowed.

The RFQ specifies that the state's Minority and Women's Business Enterprise (MWBE) program applies, with a 20% MWBE participation goal. The current incumbent suppliers are not listed, but the state anticipates spending approximately $25 million annually on natural gas services across all participating entities, subject to available appropriations and actual usage. The contracting opportunity is open to all qualified suppliers, but preference may be given to MWBE-certified businesses.
