About this opportunity

The Mississippi Forensics Laboratory (MSFL) is pursuing a sole source procurement for Bode DNA Convicted Offender Collection Kits under solicitation number 1711-26-R-RFIN-00007. The agency seeks to purchase 100 kits (consisting of 50-count cases) specifically designed for collecting buccal DNA samples from convicted felons. Each kit contains a comprehensive set of components including a Bode Buccal DNA Collector, Mississippi Outer Envelope, DNA Database Collection Card, Transport Pouch with Desiccant, collection instructions, ink strips, gloves, integrity seal, and finger ink strip/alcohol pad. The procurement is scheduled with a posting date of November 6, 2025, and a response deadline of November 26, 2025, at 5:00 pm local time. Objections to the sole source designation must be submitted in writing to Sonya Williams or Britney Wesley in the Procurement Department, located at 4th Floor Room 402, 1900 East Woodrow Wilson Avenue, Jackson, MS 39216.

The procurement is designated as a sole source acquisition due to the proprietary nature of the Bode Buccal DNA Collector, which is manufactured exclusively by Bode Cellmark Forensics in the United States. The device holds patent #6840911 and is uniquely designed for direct buccal cell collection on untreated 100% cotton filter paper, validated for forensic DNA identification applications. Manufactured under cGMP conditions in an FDA-registered facility, the collector is E-beam processed and certified free of human DNA, DNase, and RNase. The total estimated procurement value is $41,300.00, with each kit priced at $403.00, including estimated shipping and handling costs of $700-$1,000. If MSFL determines through objection review that alternative sources exist, the procurement may be converted to a competitive bid process; otherwise, the agency will seek Public Procurement Review Board support for the sole source justification.
