This document is a Sole Source Notice for the Program Evaluation and Reporting System (PEARS) issued by the State of Mississippi for Claiborne County. The notice outlines the state's intent to award a sole source contract for the PEARS system, which provides program evaluation and reporting services. The contract term is for an initial period of one year with four optional one-year renewal periods. No response dates, site visits, or bidder's meetings are indicated. The Sole Source Notice states that the current incumbent provider, PEARS LLC, is the only known source capable of providing the necessary products and services.

The Sole Source Notice does not provide any details on pricing terms, set asides, funding requirements or sources, or contract amounts. It indicates that the PEARS system is a critical component for program evaluation and reporting for the state and county, and that transitioning to a new provider would result in significant disruption and cost.
