Sealed Bids Requested for Purchase of Goods

The Mississippi State University is issuing a solicitation for sealed bids to acquire specific goods, including an annual license, hardware support, and maintenance renewal for TimeClock Plus, as well as an autonomous drone solution. The procurement is managed through the university’s Office of Procurement and Contracts, with bids due by September 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM, to be mailed to a designated address in Mississippi State. The contract size is estimated to range between one million and five million dollars. Notably, the solicitation does not reference any specific set-aside programs, federal or state regulations, or detailed technical specifications within the available documentation. There are no incorporated FAR clauses, special contract requirements, or unique terms such as security clearances, key personnel, or OCI provisions indicated. The documentation provides minimal procedural details beyond the bid submission deadline and mailing address, with no explicit instructions on proposal formatting, media types, or evaluation criteria. The only explicit contractual language emphasizes the university’s status as an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and reserves the right to waive informalities. No attachments, supporting materials, or detailed specifications are included in the available files, and there are no references to pricing schedules, line-item descriptions, or delivery schedules. Similarly, no information on inspection, acceptance procedures, or performance periods is present. Overall, the available contract data suggests a straightforward procurement process focused on obtaining sealed bids for specified goods, with limited contractual or regulatory complexity outlined in the current documentation.
