THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Board authorized a $28,861 requisition to Sunbelt Fire Apparatus, Inc. for seven fire suppression suits under a state contract. This confirms the city is actively buying firefighter PPE through established cooperative contracts rather than issuing its own RFP. PPE and fire equipment vendors can use this as incumbent and purchasing-channel intel and engage the Fire Department around future gear, maintenance, and replacement cycles.
Purchase is via Mississippi State Contract #8200078720, indicating use of cooperative purchasing.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Vicksburg Port Commission issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Vicksburg Port Commission's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Vicksburg Port Commission before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more equipment government opportunities in Mississippi?
