About this file

This is a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase document from the University of Mississippi (USM) through the State of Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration (DFA). The procurement seeks to acquire a Data Acquisition Labs Expansion, which represents equipment or systems necessary to enhance the university's laboratory data collection capabilities. The solicitation is being issued under Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase procedures as permitted under Mississippi Code Section 31-7-13(C), which allows for single-source procurement when competition is not feasible. Comments and objections to the sole source justification will be received during a specified period as required by state statute. The contract RFx number is 3150006851, and this procurement is identified as part of the USM SSP 26_026 initiative. Specific details regarding quantities, delivery timelines, and award dates are not detailed in the available documentation excerpt.

The procurement follows Mississippi's established sole source purchase procedures, which require public notice and an opportunity for interested parties to submit written objections or comments before award authorization. This approach indicates that the university has determined there is a sole source for the data acquisition laboratory expansion needs, likely due to specialized technical requirements, compatibility with existing systems, or proprietary technology considerations. Pricing terms, total contract value, contract duration, and renewal options are not specified in the available summary information. The funding source is identified as state appropriations through the University of Mississippi's budget allocation, with oversight provided by the DFA procurement management system.
