About this file
This document is a Sole Source Procurement Authority letter from the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) dated August 14, 2025, specifically from the Materials Division. The letter requests procurement authorization to purchase replacement parts and professional repair services for a Tinius Olsen load frame equipment used for tensile testing of various steel materials including rebar, steel wire, cables, bolts, direct tension indicators, and cast iron test bars. The primary need is to replace drive screws to ensure the equipment functions properly for the essential duties of the Materials Division.
The total cost for replacement parts and installation by Tinius Olsen is not expected to exceed $18,005.00. The procurement is being pursued as a sole source procurement because Tinius Olsen is identified as the only manufacturer and vendor capable of supplying the specific replacement parts and repair services for this specialized testing equipment. The letter is signed by Griffin Sullivan, PE, who serves as the State Materials Engineer, and is addressed to MDOT's Procurement Division for review and approval.
