27 Miss. Code. R. 100-3-208
Mississippi Code Annotated § 25-9-120 authorizes the PSCRB to, "establish a preapproved list of providers of various personal and professional services for set prices with which state agencies may contract without bidding or prior approval from the [B]oard." The PSCRB at its discretion may exercise its authority and establish preapproved vendor lists for use by entities under PSCRB purview. The preapproved vendor lists shall be posted on the PSCRB tab of the MSPB webpage at: http://www.mspb.ms.gov. Use of the preapproved vendor lists is optional.
The agency should locate the preapproved vendor list for the selected service in the region where the service is to be provided. The agency is encouraged, but not required, to contact the lowest bidder first. Once a vendor is selected, the agency and the vendor should finalize the negotiable terms and prepare a contract. The agency may use a form contract for the selected service drafted by the PSCRB and posted on the website. Use of the PSCRB form contract is strictly optional. The agency may use a contract it prepares as long as the contract adheres to the required terms and conditions as stated in the PSCRB form contract. Any additional terms or change in non-negotiable terms, such as the scope of services, may not be used.
PSCRB staff has the authority to approve agency contracts with vendors from any PSCRB established List of Preapproved Providers of Services. This authority is limited to contracts with scopes of service consistent with the IFB used to establish the list.
