This is a newspaper advertisement form issued by the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) for a sole source certification request related to the Children's Oncology Group Mobile Application Renewal, known as KidsCare, under RFx# 3150006990. The project involves the renewal of a mobile application that provides streamlined and searchable content for families of children with cancer. Responses will be received at UMMC, 2500 North State Street, Jackson, Mississippi 39216. The objection deadline for the sole source certification request is September 10, 2026 at 3:00 PM Central Time. Interested parties should direct questions to solesource@umc.edu and may access the certification request and objection procedures through the Mississippi Procurement Portal website.

The procurement is being conducted as a sole source acquisition, indicating that UMMC has determined there are no other products available that will provide this information in mobile app format. While the information could theoretically be provided in paper form, the mobile application format is essential to the project's objectives. The current environment reflects a need for accessible, searchable digital resources specifically designed for families managing pediatric cancer care.
