Explanation of Why the Commodity is the Only One that Can Meet the Needs of

the Agency: Weldon, Williams & Lick, Inc (WW&L) is the sole source provider of these

materials. The proprietary nature of these products, which are copyrighted, ensures they

cannot be replicated or obtained from other sources. These stamps are specifically tailored

to meet Mississippi’s Hunting license requirements. They also assist MDWFPs license sales

data c o l l e c t i o n e f f o r t s by providing numbered stock sheets to accurately record the

number of stamps sold. No alternative products are available that can deliver the same

quality, consistency, and compliance required for the legal hunting of turkey and waterfowl

in the State of Mississippi.

Explanation of Why the Source is the Only Entity That Can Provide the Required

Commodity: Over the years, Weldon, Williams & Lick, Inc (WW&L) has printed many

Wildlife Stamps for many state organizations. Specifications and requirements of these

many entities dictate the production of superior collector quality stamps. WW&L prints

these stamps on high quality paper with offset press specifications and specially formulated

inks. MDWFP is not aware of other printers that are currently using the same paper, press and

ink that is used to provide these collector quality stamps.

Explanation of Why the Amount to Be Expended for the Commodity is Reasonable:

The total cost of the materials is $50,335.77. This pricing reflects the proprietary nature of the

materials and is consistent with market standards for similar stamps at different state

agencies. The cost ensures that MDWFP receives comprehensive, high-quality materials

necessary for its programs, while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

Efforts Made to Obtain the Best Possible Price: Due to the proprietary nature of Weldon,

Williams & Lick, Inc (WW&L) products, no other vendors can provide equivalent

materials. However, Weldon, Williams & Lick, Inc (WW&L) has provided competitive

pricing that aligns with the unique value and exclusivity of these resources.
