The state of Mississippi Department of Health is pursuing a sole source procurement (No. 4716) for Universal Product Code (UPC) management software through a competitive solicitation identified as 1601-26-R-RFIN-00010. The procurement was officially posted on August 5, 2025, with proposal responses due by August 19, 2025. This opportunity specifically seeks a specialized software solution for managing Universal Product Codes, suggesting a targeted technological acquisition to enhance the department's operational capabilities. While the attached document directs interested parties to the Mississippi Information Technology Services (ITS) procurement website for complete details, the core objective appears to be obtaining a specific UPC management software system that meets unique departmental requirements. The procurement is being conducted as a sole source certification, which typically indicates that only one vendor can provide the required technological solution.

No specific set-aside designations or organizational restrictions were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests potential limitations on competitive bidding, with the procurement likely focused on a specific vendor's proprietary UPC management software solution. Without comprehensive documentation, precise award values or budget ranges cannot be definitively stated. The procurement is being managed by the Mississippi State Department of Health in coordination with the state's Information Technology Services department.
