About this file
This is a sole source purchase letter from the University of Mississippi (USM) concerning the proposed procurement of an Ambient H35 Dispenser. The document notifies potential bidders and stakeholders of the state's intention to make a sole source purchase, indicating that the procuring agency has determined that only one vendor can meet the specified requirements. The procurement is identified under Mississippi's contract bid system with RFx number 3150006984. Comments and objections to the proposed sole source justification will be accepted in accordance with Section 31-7-13(C) of the Mississippi Code, with a deadline of 8:00 a.m. on the specified date. The notice establishes a formal process for transparency and allows interested parties an opportunity to challenge the sole source determination before the purchase is finalized.
The sole source letter serves as a pre-award notification required under Mississippi procurement regulations and represents the state's commitment to public transparency in government purchasing. This type of notice is standard practice when an agency believes competition is not feasible or when a particular vendor's product or service is uniquely qualified to meet documented organizational needs. The specific justification for selecting the Ambient H35 Dispenser as a sole source item would be detailed within the letter, along with documentation supporting why alternative products or vendors cannot adequately fulfill the requirements.

Text version
To Whom It May Concern, The H35 Dispenser from PDC Machines is the only hydrogen dispenser specifically designed and qualified for use with PDC Machines' SimpleFuel™ hydrogen refueling system.
SimpleFuel is a fully integrated, self-contained hydrogen generation and dispensing platform that operates at a nominal dispensing pressure of 350 bar (H35). The dispenser is engineered to communicate directly with PDC Machines’ SimpleFuel system's controls, pressure management equipment, compressor, storage vessels, and safety interlocks, allowing the entire refueling process to function as a single integrated system. Because of these proprietary hardware and software interfaces, no commercially available third-party 350-bar hydrogen dispenser has been designed, tested, or certified for direct integration with the SimpleFuel platform.
As a result, the H35 Dispenser serves as the exclusive dispensing interface for the SimpleFuel system, making it a unique and essential component rather than an interchangeable accessory. Alternative hydrogen dispensers are generally intended for larger commercial fueling stations with different communication protocols, control architectures, and fueling system designs, and therefore cannot be readily substituted without extensive engineering modifications, system integration, and recertification. The H35 Dispenser's exclusive compatibility with PDC Machines’ SimpleFuel ensures reliable operation, maintains the system's safety and performance requirements, and preserves the integrity of the factory-designed hydrogen fueling solution.
Sincerely, Peter Tarnawskyj
Senior Business Segment Manager
