12 Miss. Code. R. 9-13.3
Insofar as it is practical for small purchases of services greater than $50,000.00 and not exceeding $75,000.00, no less than three quotes shall be solicited. The Agency should request offerors to submit written responses which identify the offeror.
The names of the vendors submitting quotes and the date and amount of each quotation shall be recorded and maintained in the Agency Procurement File. In the event three written responses are not obtained, the Agency shall include a memorandum in the Agency Procurement File explaining why this was not accomplished.
Award shall be made to the vendor submitting the lowest-priced responsive and responsible quote unless a written justification as to why the lowest-priced response did not meet the Agency's needs. All vendors submitting responses shall be promptly notified in writing of the contract award. A copy of each notification letter shall be kept in the Agency Procurement File.
