Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase

256-051

Mississippi State University anticipates purchasing the item(s) listed below as a

sole source purchase. Anyone objecting to this purchase shall follow the

procedures outlined below.

1. Commodity or commodities to be purchased (make, model, description):

IMO Core

2. Explanation of the need to be fulfilled by this item(s), how is it unique from all other

options, and why it is the only one that can meet the specific needs of the department:

IMO Core is the only product that integrates into our EHR, NextGen.

3. Name of company/individual selling the item and why that source is the only possible

source that can provide the required item(s):

Intelligent Medical Objects, Inc is the company name. They are the only company that will

integrate with the EHR we are currently using.

4. Estimated cost of item(s) and an explanation why the amount to be expended is considered

reasonable:

24,750 over a 5 year period.

4950/year

This is the only product that will integrate and work with our EHR. This is already in place

and the integration fees have already been expended when we first started using the

product.

5. Explanation of the efforts taken by the department to determine this is the only source and

the efforts used to obtain the best possible price:

We reached out to our EHR provider and requested a list of other vendors that could offer

the same product in the event they had partnered with someone new recently.

I have attached the email from them stating this is the only product they integrate with.

Any person or entity that objects and proposes that the commodity listed is not sole source and

can be provided by another person or entity shall submit a written notice to:

Jennifer Mayfield, CPPO

Director and CPO, Procurement & Contracts

jmayfield@procurement.msstate.edu

Subject Line must read “Sole Source Objection”

The notice shall contain a detailed explanation of why the commodity is not a sole source

procurement. Appropriate documentation shall also be submitted if applicable.

If after a review of the submitted notice and documents, MSU determines that the commodity

in the proposed sole source request can be provided by another person or entity, then MSU will

withdraw the sole source request publication from the procurement portal website and submit

the procurement of the commodity to an advertised competitive bid or selection process.

If MSU determines after review that there is only one (1) source for the required commodity,

then MSU will appeal to the Public Procurement Review Board. MSU will have the burden of

proving that the commodity is only provided by one (1) source.

This is the opportunity summary page. It provides an overview of this opportunity and a preview of the attached documentation.
