What this contract is for

Agency: Mississippi Department of Health - Office of State Health Officer
Location: Jackson, MS
Scope: State & Local

MSDH employs a workforce that includes classifications subject to State Personnel Board classification and pay plan rules, a portion of which perform healthcare, clinical, or healthcare-adjacent functions (e.g., nursing, direct care, clinical support, laboratory, pharmacy, healthcare administration). Turnover data, exit interviews, and difficulty-to-fill metrics indicate that current compensation levels for these classifications may lag private-sector healthcare wages, while broader classifications remain governed by the state’s general pay plan. A compensation analysis that reconciles both frameworks is necessary to support evidence-based decision-making on pay adjustments, budget requests, and classification changes. The agency seeks the professional services to support a comprehensive compensation analysis to determine the agency's position relative to the public sector governed by the State Personnel Board and private healthcare entities in direct competition for the same professionals.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
