The Jefferson Davis County Board of Supervisors reserves the right to utilize “anti-sniping” for reverse auction.  Anti-sniping is a tool that automatically extends the bid time for a reverse auction by fifteen (15) minutes if a vendor places a bid in the final five (5) minutes of the reverse auction.  The anti-sniping effect will auto-extend the reverse auction bid time any time a bid is placed in the last five (5) minutes of the reverse auction and can auto-extend the reverse auction multiple times until the bidding on the reverse auction ends.
 
The Jefferson Davis County Board of Supervisors reserves the right to reject any and all bids submitted and to waive informalities.
