UNIVERVTY'

February 11, 2025

Mr. Danny Lynch Director of Purchasing, Travel, and Fleet Management Department of Finance and Administration 501 North West Street Jackson, MS 39201

Dear Mr. Lynch:

Please accept this letter alongside all other documentation for our request to purchase, via sole source method, The Research Systems, a biomedical device. Our current research project serves as a continuation of our earlier studies, in which we utilized the same brand of advanced hardware and sophisticated software. In those studies, we were able to achieve remarkable outcomes, demonstrating impressive capabilities and performance. This time, we are building upon our previous findings to explore new dimensions and gather more profound insights, using the same reliable tools that contributed to our success.

We followed the procedures outlined in the Procurement Manual to verify that this item is truly unique. We researched the market and checked for the item on the State contract before doing anything else. Then, we published an advertisement announcing our intent to purchase and an RFIN that was published to the State's Procurement Portal. We also listed this procurement on JSU's site.

We received no objections or other communication from any party in response.

The results of these procedures have prompted this request to purchase as we are confident that this is the only item with these specifications, and this item is exactly what is needed by the department to engage their research and instruction.

Please advise as needed; thank you. Have a great rest of your day, Kim erly R. Harris, CM A, MHSA Director of Procurement Services Division of Business and Finance Jackson State University
