Overview

Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (“District”) invites qualified Vendors to submit a

proposal in response to this Request for Proposal (RFP), for the design and production of Car-

protection.

Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College is a large, public community college with a mission

to meet the educational and community needs in George, Harrison, Jackson, and Stone counties

through workforce pathways, certificates, diplomas, and associate transfer and applied degrees.

Campus. The goal is to obtain a transportation-sector training platform that will allow students to

simulate real-world scenarios and environments for the prevention and diagnostic services of

vehicle infrastructure hacking.

The proposal will undergo a competitive bid process and will be awarded to a company that, in the

opinion of the District, is best qualified to service the District and best responds to the request for
