OBJECTIVE

The Hattiesburg Tourism Commission (dba VisitHATTIESBURG) intends to contract with qualified agencies to support its continued recovery efforts, stemming from the negative economic impacts of COVID-19. These contracts will be funded through federal ARPA dollars for Mississippi Tourism Recovery, II. As such, preference will be given to companies with offices in Mississippi or who employ Mississippi residents.

These procurement opportunities in no way commit VisitHATTIESBURG to award a contract, to pay any costs in preparation of a proposal, or to contract for the goods and/or services offered. Although it is VisitHATTIESBURG’s intent to contract with the person/company that best meets the qualifications to complete the scope of work, VisitHATTIESBURG may terminate the negotiations if they are unsuccessful in reaching an agreement on all matters including the scope of work and cost.
