About this file
The document is a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase issued by the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) for a procurement involving InnovaSea. The notice, identified with RFx number 3140004320, invites comments and objections regarding a potential sole source procurement until 8:00 a.m. Central Time on August 19, 2025. Any person or entity believing the commodity can be provided by another source is invited to submit a written notice to Jacob Cochran, Director of Procurement & Contracts, detailing why the procurement should not be a sole source.
If USM determines after review that the commodity can be provided by another source, the university will withdraw the sole source request and submit the procurement to a competitive bid process. Conversely, if USM confirms that only one source exists for the required commodity, the university will appeal to the Public Procurement Review Board, bearing the burden of proving single-source availability. The notice will be published on run dates of July 31 and August 7, with contact information provided as bids@usm.edu and a phone number of 601-266-4131 for any submissions or inquiries related to the sole source objection process.
