12 Miss. Code. R. 9-7.6
Applications shall be evaluated to determine if the applicant was responsive to the RFA and whether the applicant meets the minimum qualifications such that the applicant can be deemed responsible.
Pre-determined criteria shall be used to evaluate the responsive and responsible applicants. At the sole discretion of the Agency, interviews may be conducted with all responsive and responsible applicants.
It is recommended that evaluations and interviews, if applicable, be conducted by the same person or committee for each responsive and responsible applicant. Where an Agency is using multiple evaluators, it is recommended, but not required, that all members of the evaluation/interview committee be present at all times the applicants are being evaluated. If an Agency does not use the same evaluation/interview committee throughout the evaluation process, the Agency must demonstrate that the evaluation sessions were conducted in a fair and reasonable manner.
