27 Miss. Code. R. 100-3-207 - EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT

The PSCRB does not approve emergency contracts. If the Agency Head of any agency determines that an emergency exists in regard to the procurement of personal or professional services so that the delay incident to undertaking a competitive procurement would threaten the health or safety of any person, or the preservation or protection of property, then the Agency Head or his designee may make an emergency procurement. Emergency procurements shall be made with such competition as is practicable under the circumstances.

3-207.01 Determination to Make Emergency Procurement

The Agency Head shall make a written determination of the conditions and circumstances of the emergency, including a detailed description of the events leading up to the situation, the negative impact to the agency if the procurement of services is required to be competitively bid, and the basis for the selection of the particular contractor. The written determination shall be signed by the Agency Head and maintained in the procurement file. The term of an emergency contract shall not exceed one year.

3-207.02 Scope of Emergency Procurement

Emergency procurement shall be limited to those personal or professional services necessary to meet the emergency. The term of an emergency contract shall be limited to the time necessary to meet the emergency, but in no circumstances shall the term exceed one year. If the agency will continue to need the personal or professional services beyond the term of the emergency contract, the agency must take the necessary steps to competitively procure the services before the emergency contract expires.

3-207.03 Emergency Contracts Greater than $75,000

The PSCRB does not approve Emergency Contracts. However, any contract resulting from an emergency procurement shall be forwarded to the PSCRB within 10 days of execution for SPAHRS or MAGIC processing, if the contract amount is greater than $75,000.
