Opportunity Overview
Mississippi State University is accepting construction bids for Patterson Hall IDEE Lab 2nd Floor Renovation – Phase 3, identified as Bid File 27-09 and IHL Project 205-320C. MSU’s official construction planroom lists the project as Accepting Bids.
Deadline and Pre-Bid Meeting
Sealed and electronic bids are due October 14, 2026 at 2:00 PM. The official bid notice does not label a time zone, so Atlas does not infer one. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 30, 2026 at 2:00 PM in the Conference Room of Gast Hall, 130 Twelve Lane, Mississippi State, MS 39762. The public notice does not expressly state that the pre-bid meeting is mandatory.
Project Budget
The Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning Board’s January 2026 project record lists a $5,000,000 total project budget for MSU-IHL 205-320C. That figure is the overall project budget and should not be treated as a guaranteed construction award or bid-package ceiling. The current MSU bid notice does not separately state an engineer’s estimate or contract amount.
Project and Design Status
IHL records identify CDFL Architects + Engineers, P.A. as the design professional. The IHL Board approved schematic design documents in December 2025 and design-development documents in May 2026. The current solicitation is Phase 3 of the Patterson Engineering IDEE Lab second-floor renovation.
Bid Documents, Registration and Submission
Bid documents are available through MSU’s construction planroom at plans.fm.msstate.edu. Planholders are required to register and order the bid documents through the planroom. Bidders may submit physically in a sealed envelope to the Office of Procurement and Contracts, Mississippi State University, P.O. Box 5307 / 610 McArthur Hall, Barr Avenue, Mississippi State, MS 39762, or electronically through the MSU planroom.
An electronic bid must include a copy of the bidder’s Certificate of Responsibility as an attachment. Bid preparation is governed by the Instructions to Bidders in the Project Manual. The University reserves the right to waive irregularities and reject any or all bids.
Qualifications, Forms and Procurement Rules
This is a public construction procurement rather than a grant, so grant-style match/cost share and eligible/ineligible-cost categories do not apply. Contractor licensing, bonding, bid security, insurance, detailed technical scope, forms, substitutions and other construction requirements are controlled by the Project Manual and planroom documents. Atlas does not infer requirements that are not stated in the accessible public notice.
Contacts, Addenda and FAQs
The official project notice lists Debra Raines, Mississippi State University, at 662-325-2553 and DRaines@procurement.msstate.edu. Registered planholders should monitor the MSU planroom for addenda and document updates. No separate public FAQ is identified on the project landing page as of verification.
Atlas Analysis
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. Nonagon N9+ is a remote physical examination platform and does not fit a building-renovation contract.
QC Healthcare / Dr. Miltie direct-vendor fit: 0/100. Available records do not establish the construction license, Certificate of Responsibility, bonding, renovation experience or trade qualifications needed for a legitimate direct bid.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 5/100 for direct Dr. Miltie pursuit. The project is relevant Mississippi higher-education procurement intelligence but not a legitimate Dr. Miltie pursuit.
Atlas Action
No CRM Deal, WorkDrive pursuit folder, task, contact/applicant record or outreach is created because no verified direct-pursuit fit exists.
