Opportunity Overview
East Mississippi State Hospital (EMSH) is soliciting waste collection services under Smart Number 3372-27-R-IFBD-00004 / RFx 3160008231. The Mississippi procurement portal lists the solicitation as open, advertised September 2, 2026, under personnel services non-IT.
Deadline
September 30, 2026 at 10:00 AM. The controlling Mississippi procurement landing page publishes the date and time but does not label a time zone. Public parsers of the agency attachments report Central Time, with one attachment summary stating CST and another stating CDT. Atlas therefore does not collapse that discrepancy into a single inferred abbreviation; bidders should confirm the controlling attachment wording before submission.
Scope
Published solicitation analysis describes scheduled collection, hauling, and disposal of waste from multiple containers at East Mississippi State Hospital and related Meridian locations, with pickup frequency varying by site from daily to weekly. The anticipated service period is November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2027. Pricing is expected to include transportation/handling and applicable charges.
Funding / Contract Value
No official contract ceiling, estimated award value, or guaranteed volume is published on the state procurement landing page. This is a vendor procurement, so grant match or cost share does not apply.
Submission and Forms
The official state record posts a Bid Form and Bid Specifications. Public analysis of those agency documents indicates electronic bidding through the Mississippi MAGIC system. A separately parsed invitation also references a non-electronic delivery location, so bidders should confirm the exact controlling submission route and signature requirements directly from the official attachments before filing.
Qualifications and Vendor Rules
The published document analysis indicates firm pricing is required without surcharges or escalations during the contract term and that the contractor must furnish and service the required containers and perform compliant waste collection/disposal. Atlas has not independently rendered the DOCX attachments, so licensing, insurance, disposal-facility, bond, reference, and other solicitation-specific requirements must be verified from the official bid package and any later amendments.

Addenda / Amendments / FAQs
The Mississippi procurement record currently lists the Bid Form and Bid Specifications and does not show a separate addendum, amendment, or FAQ attachment. Any later state-posted revision controls.
Atlas Analysis
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The procurement is for waste collection and disposal, not telehealth, remote examination, diagnostics, or clinical technology.
QC Healthcare / Dr. Miltie direct-vendor fit: 0/100. Available Dr. Miltie records do not establish solid-waste hauling equipment, disposal infrastructure, licensing, or comparable waste-management performance.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 5/100. Relevant Mississippi healthcare-facility procurement intelligence, but not a defensible Dr. Miltie pursuit.
