MAGIC Training for RFx and Reverse Auction House Bill 1109 was passed during the 2017 regular legislative session requiring Reverse Auctions to be used as the primary method for receiving bids for commodities during the competitive bidding process. Additionally, House Bill 1106 will require agencies to accept bids electronically where the vendor elects to submit that way. The laws become effective on January 1, 2018. DFA / MMRS has made system enhancements to implement Reverse Auctions in MAGIC. To help agencies prepare for this change in the purchasing process, a series of Reverse Auction training sessions will be held. The RFx process is very important in the Reverse Auction so a series of RFx workshops will also be held. It is not necessary to attend an RFx workshop, but a refresher course could be beneficial and help tie the two processes together. If your agency currently only accepts paper bids, you should plan to attend both workshops to understand how to receive bids electronically whether performing a Reverse Auction or not. The schedule for the workshops and training is on the next page. To register for a class, access the Learning Solution (LSO) via the MAGIC Portal Login. LSO is under the Employee Self Service tab on the portal. If you need assistance in registering for a class, contact the MMRS Call Center at 601-359-1343 (option 3) or via email at [email protected].

To help agencies prepare for this change in the purchasing process, a series of Reverse Auction training sessions will be held. The RFx process is very important in the Reverse Auction so a series of RFx workshops will also be held.
