In purchasing said equipment, the Board reserves the right to reject any and all bids; and the Board
reserves the right to take advantage of Section 19-13-17 or 31-7-13 of the Mississippi Code of 1972,
annotated as amended.
The County reserves the right to utilize "anti-sniping" for reverse auction. Anti-sniping is a tool that
automatically extends the bid time for reverse auction by five (5) minutes if a vendor places a bid in the
final five (5) minutes of the reverse auction. The anti-snipping effect will automatically extend the
reverse auction bid time any time a bid is placed in the last five (5) minutes of the reverse auction and
can auto extend the reverse auction multiple times until bidding on the auction ends.
By order of the Board of Supervisors on this the 20th day of January, 2026.
Publish March 11th and 18th 2026.
