12 Miss. Code. R. 9-8.1 - Authority to Establish Preapproved Vendor Lists
Mississippi Code Annotated ยง 27-104-7(2)(i) authorizes PPRB to, "establish a preapproved list of providers of various personal and professional services for set prices with which state [A]gencies may contract without bidding or prior approval from the [B]oard." PPRB, at its discretion, may exercise its authority and establish preapproved vendor lists ("PVL") for use by entities under PPRB purview. Creation of PVLs and other cooperative purchasing is intended to provide opportunities for volume discounts through statewide and national purchasing and to lower transaction costs for procuring Agencies and to the private sector. Use of PVLs is optional for Agencies under the purview of PPRB.
