HB32

Mississippi HB32 requires state agencies to publish detailed specifications for reverse auctions.

Mississippi HB32 amends Section 31-7-13 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to mandate that state agencies provide detailed specifications for participating in reverse auctions. These specifications must be published on the agency's website for 30 days before the auction and once weekly for three consecutive weeks in a local newspaper. The bill also specifies various exemptions from competitive bidding requirements for different types of purchases and contracts, including emergency purchases, single-source items, and certain construction projects.
