General RFP 3850 – Enhance the existing vendor pool for the Managed Service Provider process to acquire Information Systems Consulting Services for the State of Mississippi

The State of Mississippi is issuing a General RFP (No. 3850) to broaden its vendor pool for the Managed Service Provider (MSP) process. The goal is to secure qualified firms that can provide Information Systems Consulting Services, including system architecture, integration, implementation, and ongoing support for state IT initiatives. This effort will create a pre‑qualified list of vendors that can be called upon for future MSP contracts, streamlining procurement and ensuring consistent service quality. • Scope: Consulting services for information systems design, integration, implementation, and support. • Target: Build a vetted vendor pool for future MSP engagements. • Delivery: Services will be performed under separate task orders after vendors are approved. • Evaluation: Standard RFP evaluation criteria (technical capability, past performance, pricing). • Location: Services may be performed statewide, with possible on‑site work at state facilities.
