The Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services (MDRS) requests sealed bids for the purchase of 19 Automated Merchandising Systems (AMS). These machines are going to be used by legally blind vendors in food service stands as part of the Business Enterprise Program (BEP). MDRS requires AMS machines only because the legally blind vendors in this program are trained to use this brand of machine and failure to use these machines would result in the vendor being unfamiliar with and unable to use/refill any other brand.
