Mississippi HB1299 raises the threshold for public purchases without competitive bidding from $5,000 to $10,000.
Mississippi HB1299 amends Section 31-7-13 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to increase the threshold for making public purchases without competitive bidding from $5,000 to $10,000. It also raises the threshold for certain requirements for contractors submitting bids for public works projects from $5,000 to $10,000. The bill specifies that purchases under $10,000 can be made without advertising or requesting competitive bids, while purchases between $10,000 and $75,000 can be made from the lowest and best bidder without advertising if at least two competitive written bids have been obtained.
