Mississippi Administrative Code
Title 12 - Finance and Administration
Part 9 - Office of Personal Service Contract Review Rules and Regulations
Chapter 15 - EXCLUSION OF VENDOR FROM FUTURE CONTRACT AWARDS
Section 12-9-15.3 - Standard for Exclusion

Universal Citation: MS Code of Rules 12-9-15.3
Current through September 24, 2024

Where the Agency or PPRB is considering whether a vendor should be excluded from future contract awards, the Agency or PPRB shall determine that - based on the totality of evidence presented - it is in the best interest of the Agency(ies) to exclude the vendor from future contract awards. The requesting Agency shall have the burden to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the extraordinary remedy of exclusion - and the extent of any such exclusion - is in the best interest of the Agencies from which the vendor would be excluded. In making the determination, the Agency and/or PPRB shall consider the effect such exclusion would have on the competitiveness of any solicitations from which the vendor would be excluded.

It shall be considered per se in the best interest of the Agencies under PPRB's purview to exclude any person or vendor which has been convicted - or whose principal(s) have been convicted - of a criminal offense demonstrating moral turpitude or a lack of business integrity or convicted of a criminal offense related to efforts to obtain or perform under a contract with any governmental entity.
