About this file
This is a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase issued by the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) for SeaSonde Antenna Repair services. The procurement seeks to establish a sole source contract for the repair of SeaSonde antennas, with USM asserting that only one vendor can provide this specialized service. The objection period for challenging the sole source designation extends until 8:00 a.m. Central Time on August 13, 2026, with the notice published on July 27 and August 3.
Any entity wishing to contest the sole source classification must submit a written objection to Jacob Cochran, Director of Procurement & Contracts, at 118 College Drive, Box 5003, Hattiesburg, MS 39406, via email at bids@usm.edu or phone at 601-266-4131, with the subject line "Sole Source Objection USM SSP 27_002." Objections must include detailed documentation explaining why the commodity is not sole source and can be provided by another vendor. Following USM's review of any submitted objections, if the university determines alternative sources exist, it will withdraw the sole source request and proceed with a competitive bidding process. If USM determines sole source status is justified, it will appeal to the Public Procurement Review Board, bearing the burden of proof that only one source can provide the required SeaSonde antenna repair services. The RFx number for this procurement is 3150006944.
