This is a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase issued by the Mississippi State Department of Health, Division of Strategic Planning and Response, for the procurement of motorized fuel caddies.

These units will enable staff to refuel generators efficiently while reducing logistical demands on personnel by extending the time between required site visits. The notice was filed with sole source number 0301-139 (RFx 3150006973). Objections to the sole source designation must be submitted in writing to Cynthia Brasher at the Mississippi State Department of Health Purchasing Department by September 14, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. CST.

No specific pricing information, contract term, incumbent vendor details, or contract value is provided in this notice. The sole source designation indicates that the Mississippi State Department of Health has determined there is only one source capable of providing the specified motorized fuel caddies. If objections are received and substantiated, the agency will withdraw the sole source request and convert the procurement to a competitive bid process. If the agency determines the sole source claim is valid after review, it will appeal to the Public Procurement Review Board and bear the burden of proof that only one source can provide the required commodity.
