# Mississippi MDA Details CDBG Contractor Requirements

The Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) outlines procurement and compliance conditions for contractors and subrecipients working on federally funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Appalachian Regional Commission projects in Mississippi. Covered procurements must support open and fair competition and address applicable domestic-content rules, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, and Section 3 workforce and contracting efforts, along with project-specific environmental, acquisition, audit, citizen-participation, and fair-housing obligations. Noncompliance may result in monitoring findings or sanctions, including suspension of funds or debarment.

- Contractors and subrecipients should build the applicable requirements into solicitation documents, procurement records, labor practices, and project administration; the guidance identifies obligations that can affect both bid preparation and contract performance.
- Firms pursuing CDBG or ARC-funded work should assess domestic-content, prevailing-wage, and Section 3 obligations for each project rather than assume requirements are identical across awards.
- MDA’s Community Incentives Division provides technical assistance on procurement and related compliance areas; contacts are listed below for project-specific questions.
