(1) In addition to any method of public notice regarding the solicitation of requests for proposals or requests for qualifications currently being used by state agencies, the head purchasing agent shall also have posted on the Mississippi procurement portal and on the soliciting agency's website, public notification of a pending procurement through request for proposals or request for qualifications. The notice shall include the following:

(2) The notice shall be posted at least thirty (30) days before the date that proposals or qualifications are to be submitted to the head purchasing agent, unless a shorter time is deemed necessary for a particular procurement as determined in writing by the head purchasing agent of the requesting agency.

(3) Each head purchasing agent may determine that other methods of public notification are best for that particular agency or that particular request for proposals or request for qualifications. If such a determination is made, the head purchasing agent may provide notice in an alternative manner about the request for proposals or request for qualifications in addition to the methods provided for in Section 3.107.

(4) OPTFM shall monitor agency websites and the Mississippi procurement portal to ensure that the agencies are posting the required notice.
