12 Miss. Code. R. 9-7.4
Amendments to RFAs are used to:
* revise the RFA such as updating the quantity, scope, or submission date;
* correct defects or ambiguities in the RFA; or
* to furnish to all prospective applicants information given to one prospective applicant where the lack of information would prejudice a potential applicant. Any such information not provided to all potential applicants may be cause for rejection by PPRB.
Amendments shall be identified as an amendment, shall reference the portion of the RFA amended, and shall require all offerors to acknowledge receipt of the amendment.
Amendments shall be:
Agencies shall retain documentation proving the time, date, and means of distribution required by this rule. Amendments to the RFA shall remain publicly posted on the Agency's website until a contract resulting from the procurement is fully executed following PPRB approval or the procurement is canceled.
Amendments shall be distributed within a reasonable time to allow prospective applicants to consider them in preparing their applications. If the time and date set for receipt of applications will not permit such preparation, the time and date set for receipt of applications shall be extended. Any such extension of the submission deadline shall be communicated to all prospective applicants via an amendment.
Should the Agency distribute an amendment less than seven calendar days prior to the application submission deadline, the Agency shall make a written determination that the amount of time allotted is reasonable under the circumstances and shall state the facts supporting that conclusion.
