Reverse auctions; require state agencies to publish detailed specifications on.

HB 32 requires Mississippi state agencies to publish detailed specifications for reverse auctions on their websites for 30 days before the auction and in a local newspaper for three consecutive weeks. This applies to state purchases over $75,000, making reverse auctions the primary method for obtaining bids on such contracts. Agencies must seek approval from the Public Procurement Review Board if they choose not to use reverse auctions, and they cannot use them for public construction or school purchases of educational materials. The bill directly affects state agencies conducting procurements above $75,000 and vendors bidding on these contracts.
