About this file
This is a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase issued by the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) for Vaki products or services. The procurement is identified by RFQI 3140004552 and SSP 26_022. USM is seeking to procure Vaki as a sole source commodity. The objection period for this sole source request extends until 2:00 p.m. Central Time on May 14, 2026. Any entity objecting to the sole source designation and proposing an alternative supplier must submit written notice to Millissa Weaver at 103 McIlwain Drive, Ocean Springs, MS 39564, with the subject line "Sole Source Objection USM SSP 26_022" and include detailed documentation supporting the objection. The notice was published on April 26, 2026 and May 3, 2026.
If USM receives and reviews objections and determines that alternative sources exist for the commodity, the agency will withdraw the sole source publication and proceed with an advertised competitive bid or selection process. Conversely, if USM determines after review that only one source can provide the required commodity, USM will appeal to the Public Procurement Review Board, bearing the burden of proof that the commodity is available from a single source only.
