12 Miss. Code. R. 6-6.103.01
The Mississippi Procurement Code establishes procedures and remedies to resolve contract and breach of contract controversies between the State and a contractor. It is the State's policy, consistent with the Code, to try to resolve all controversies by mutual agreement. In appropriate circumstances, informal discussions between the parties can aid in the resolution of differences by mutual agreement and are encouraged. If such informal discussions do not resolve the controversy, individuals who have not participated substantially in the matter in controversy may be brought in to conduct discussions if this is feasible. Independent committees and panels which review controversies expeditiously and informally with a view to fair settlement possibilities also are encouraged at this stage.
