12 Miss. Code. R. 9-4.2
Agencies shall ensure that any potential offeror and, where applicable, any potential stakeholder has the same opportunity to participate and respond to the RFI as incumbent vendors and other vendors and stakeholders which have a pre-existing relationship with the procuring Agency. This shall be accomplished by posting the RFI publicly on the Agency website for a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to the deadline for responses to the RFI and/or any telephonic conference, video conference, or in-person meetings with vendors and/or stakeholders regarding the RFI. Agencies shall also make reasonable efforts to advertise the RFI through any other means available, such as email, social media, or the procurement portal.
Agencies may use the procurement portal to publicly post the RFI and to send the RFI directly to all vendors who have registered in the service category code selected in MAGIC. Agencies are not required to post the RFI on the procurement portal but are strongly encouraged to do so. Agencies who do not post the RFI on the procurement portal shall include a specific explanation as to why they chose not to do so in the written determination required in Section 4.5.
