User Licenses for UDB App

Mississippi State University’s Procurement Services seeks to renew annual user licenses for the “Ultimate Drill Book” (UDB) marching‑band application. The university plans to provide a per‑user subscription to its band students and staff, enabling animated drill‑set visualizations, per‑performer focus, and direct integration with the Pyware band‑writing software. The purchase is justified as sole‑source because no other commercial product offers the same combination of animation, per‑user view, and Pyware integration. The contract value is projected at $5,280 for 440 users at $12 per license. • Licenses are sold on an annual per‑user basis (≈440 users). • Unique functionality (animation, per‑user focus, Pyware integration) is the core justification for sole‑source. • The university will award the contract unless a valid objection is filed; objections must be directed to the listed procurement contact.
