The University of Mississippi Medical Center is seeking to certify a sole-source procurement of twelve non-human primate grade actigraphy devices and associated MotionWare software, with objections due November 6, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Central Time. This is a Notice of Intent to Certify, not an open solicitation — interested parties may object to the sole-source determination by the stated deadline.

UMMC intends to award to CamNtech Inc., the exclusive United States distributor of CamNtech Ltd. manufactured Motionwatches. The justification for sole source is that Motionwatches are the only actigraphy devices validated for data collection in non-human primates. The devices will support collection of sleep, circadian stability, and physical activity data for university research.

The total expenditure is $14,640 for devices and software. UMMC has pursued market intelligence and negotiated discounts to obtain the best available price aligned with the original grant proposal budget. Performance location is UMMC, 2500 North State Street, Jackson, Mississippi.

Objections must be submitted to solesource@umc.edu using the Vendor Form for State sole source determination and include the required certification in Attachment B. Responses received after the November 6 deadline or lacking required information will be rejected. Notice of award or no award will be posted no earlier than November 13, 2026. Inquiries should be directed to John Shows at 601-815-2034 or solesource@umc.edu. The RFx number is 3150007090.
