The University of Mississippi is pursuing a sole source procurement for specialized technology and assessment equipment, specifically for two distinct items: ITSS 436 Noraxon MyoVideo Software & Powers Running Assessment and ITSS 437 Watchdog EX. This procurement opportunity is situated within Lamar County, Mississippi, and is being managed through the university's purchasing department. The anticipated procurement appears to be focused on acquiring specific technological solutions, likely for research or performance assessment purposes. The solicitation was posted on June 1, 2025, with a response deadline of June 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM Central Time. Interested parties who may object to the sole source designation are encouraged to submit their concerns through the university's procurement website (https://procurement.olemiss.edu/bid-file/). Potential respondents are required to email ldbeard@olemiss.edu to acknowledge receipt of the advertisement and can direct technical questions to Jeff Wells via solesource@olemiss.edu or by telephone at 662-915-7448.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, the sole source nature of the procurement suggests unique vendor qualifications or technological specifications. The procurement appears to be limited to a specific vendor or product that meets the university's precise requirements for software and assessment equipment. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement contact, Jeff Wells, serves as the primary point of communication for potential inquiries or challenges to the sole source determination. The opportunity seems focused on acquiring specialized technology with potential research or performance assessment applications, though the exact end-use is not comprehensively detailed in the provided documentation. Potential vendors or interested parties should carefully review the complete solicitation and be prepared to demonstrate why they might be an appropriate alternative if challenging the sole source designation.
