12 Miss. Code. R. 6-3.106.19.4 - Evaluation of Unpriced Technical Offers

The unpriced technical offers submitted by bidders shall be evaluated solely in accordance with the criteria set forth in the Invitation for Bids. The unpriced technical offers shall be categorized as:

(1) Acceptable;

(2) Potentially acceptable; that is, reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable; or

(3) Unacceptable. The Agency Procurement Officer shall record in writing the basis for finding an offer unacceptable and make it part of the procurement file.

The Agency Procurement Officer may initiate Phase Two of the procedure if, in the Agency Procurement Officer's opinion, there are sufficient acceptable unpriced technical offers to assure effective price competition in the second phase without technical discussions. If the Agency Procurement Officer finds that such is not the case, the Agency Procurement Officer shall issue an amendment to the Invitation for Bids or engage in technical discussions as set forth in Subsection 3.106.19.5, Discussion of Unpriced Technical Offers.
