About this file

This document is a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase issued by the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) for an In Vessel Composter. The notice, identified with RFx number 3150006293, invites comments and objections to the proposed sole source procurement until 8:00 a.m. Central Time on May 28, 2025. Any person or entity believing the commodity can be provided by another source is requested to submit a detailed written notice to Jacob Cochran, Interim Director of Procurement & Contracts, at the specified contact information.

The document outlines the process for challenging the sole source procurement, stating that if USM determines after review that the commodity can be provided by another source, they will withdraw the sole source request and pursue a competitive bid process. Conversely, if USM concludes there is only one source for the required commodity, they will appeal to the Public Procurement Review Board, bearing the burden of proving single-source availability. The notice will be published on May 8 and May 15, providing potential vendors an opportunity to object to the sole source designation.
