The primary objective of the Professional Selection process is to choose individuals, or firms, to provide professional services to the State of Mississippi which result in the best building for the Using Agency. In addition, the intent of the process is to disseminate work among qualified firms who can deliver quality-designed projects on time and within the funds available.

It is the policy of the Bureau to employ Architects, Engineers and Consultants who are not only licensed to work in Mississippi, but who are, in fact, Mississippi residents. [Mississippi Code 1972, Annotated, Section 73-1-1 and Section 73-13-1] When the expertise needed in particular instances is not available in Mississippi, the Bureau will consider professionals who are not Mississippi residents.

The Professional Selection policy is outlined in Section 400.
