12 Miss. Code. R. 6-3.106.13.3

Current through December 10, 2024

Section 12-6-3.106.13.3 - Product Acceptability

The Invitation for Bids shall set forth any evaluation criterion to be used in determining product acceptability. It may require the submission of bid samples, descriptive literature, technical data, or other material. It may also provide for accomplishing any of the following prior to award:

(1) Inspection or testing of a product prior to award for such characteristics as quality or workmanship.

(2) Examination of such elements as appearance, finish, taste, or feel.

(3) Other examinations to determine whether it conforms with any other purchase description requirements.

The acceptability evaluation is not conducted for the purpose of determining whether one bidder's item is superior to another but only to determine that a bidder's offering is acceptable as set forth in the Invitation for Bids. Any bidder's offering which does not meet the acceptability requirements shall be rejected as non-responsive.
