The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) is seeking to procure MHA Dimensions Software through a sole source certification process from the Mississippi Hospital Association (MHA). This procurement is specifically for a software license that provides comprehensive quarterly data on Mississippi hospital inpatient and outpatient stays, including visualization and reporting tools. The software will enable UMMC to analyze non-identifiable patient discharge data, support market share reporting, guide physician relations communications, and inform outreach clinic decision-making. The procurement covers a three-year software license with potential for future enhancements and upgrades. Key deadlines include a first advertisement on February 25, 2025, a second advertisement on March 4, 2025, and a response deadline for potential objectors on March 11, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time. Interested parties may review the sole source certification request on the Mississippi Procurement Portal and can submit any objections to UMMC's Jackson Medical Mall location or via email to solesource@umc.edu.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. MHA is identified as the exclusive provider of this software and data within Mississippi, with no alternative sources available for the specific information and analytics package. The total estimated expenditure for the software is $87,750 for the three-year period, with potential increases for future enhancements, upgrades, support, or additional equipment. The software will be used by UMMC's Center for Information and Analytics and will integrate with the medical center's existing information systems. UMMC has determined the pricing to be reasonable through market intelligence comparisons and has pursued applicable discounts. Vendors interested in challenging the sole source certification must use the specific Vendor Form available through the Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration and submit their objections by the stated deadline.
