About this file
This is a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase filed by the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) for the procurement of High Resolution Satellite Imagery. The procurement is designated as USM SSP 26_012 with RFx number 3150006611. Comments and objections regarding the sole source designation will be accepted until 8:00 a.m. Central Time on December 8, 2025. The notice was published on November 21 and November 28, 2025. Any entity objecting to the sole source classification must submit written notice to Jacob Cochran, Director of Procurement & Contracts, at the provided Hattiesburg address, with the subject line "Sole Source Objection USM SSP 26_012," and must include detailed documentation explaining why the commodity can be provided by another source.
If USM receives valid objections with supporting documentation demonstrating that the commodity is not sole source, the university will either withdraw the sole source designation and proceed with a competitive bid process or appeal to the Public Procurement Review Board to establish that only one source can provide the required high resolution satellite imagery. The burden of proof remains on USM to demonstrate that the commodity is available from only one provider.
