12 Miss. Code. R. 3-2.1-800.31 - PRODUCT ACCEPTABILITY

The General Conditions may set forth any evaluation criterion to be used in determining product acceptability. It may require the submission of bid samples, descriptive literature, technical data, or other material. It may also provide for accomplishing any of the following prior to award of contract:

1. Inspection or testing or a product prior to award for such characteristics as quality or workmanship.

2. Examination of such elements as appearance, finish, or feel.

3. Other examinations to determine whether it conforms with any other purchase description requirements.

The acceptability evaluation is not conducted for the purpose of determining whether one Bidder's item is superior to another but only to determine that a Bidder's offering is acceptable as set forth in the Bid Documents. Any Bidder's offering which does not meet the acceptability requirements may be rejected as nonresponsive.
