27 Miss. Code. R. 100-7-119
From July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018, the Department of Human Services (DHS) must give PSCRB notice before entering into any proposed personal service contract which is determined by the DHS Agency Head to be useful in establishing and operating the Department of Child Protection Services (DCPS). The Agency Head of DHS must advise the Board of his determination that the proposed contract would be useful in establishing and operating DCPS.
From July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2019, the Agency Head of DCPS must give PSCRB notice before entering into any proposed personal service contract.
Written notice to the PSCRB must be signed by the Agency Head and identify the contractor(s), contract term, annual cost, total contract cost, method of procurement, purpose of the contract, a statement of usefulness for establishing and operating DCPS where applicable, and a copy of the proposed contractual agreement including any exhibits or attachments referenced therein.
Upon receipt of the written notice, notice will be posted at http://www.mspb.ms.gov/personal-service-contract-review-board.aspx and on the Mississippi Contract/Procurement Opportunity Search Portal website established by Sections 25-53-151 and 27-104-165.
If PSCRB responds to DHS or DCPS within seven calendar days after receiving the notice, then PSCRB has an additional seven calendar days from the date of the initial response to provide any recommendations. PSCRB will notify the agency of any recommendations; however, any implemented recommendation is made at the discretion of DHS or DCPS. At the end of the second seven-day period, the agency may enter into the proposed personal service contract.
DHS and DCPS contracts will be reported to the PSCRB at its regular meeting and will be included in the minutes of said meeting, but no action is required by the Board as to these contracts. Any approval in MAGIC or any other state system does not constitute approval of the DHS or DCPS procurement or contract by the PSCRB and is done solely for processing purposes.
See Senate Bill 2179 (2016 Regular Session).
