About this file
This is a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase issued by the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) for TAP Maintenance services. The procurement seeks to establish a sole source contract for the required maintenance services. Objections to the sole source designation must be submitted in writing to Jacob Cochran, Director of Procurement & Contracts, at the provided address by 8:00 a.m. Central Time on August 27, 2026. The notice was published on July 27 and August 3, 2026, allowing potential objectors a defined comment period to challenge the sole source determination and propose alternative vendors capable of providing the commodity.
Any entity objecting to the sole source classification must submit detailed written documentation explaining why the commodity can be provided by another source and include supporting evidence if applicable. If USM determines following review that alternative sources exist, the procurement will be converted to a competitive advertised bid or selection process. If USM confirms that only one source exists for the required commodity, the matter will be appealed to the Public Procurement Review Board, with USM bearing the burden of proof that the commodity is available from a single provider.
