Mississippi State University Sole Source Purchase: Magnet Forensics Axiom Advanced Annual Subscription

Mississippi State University’s Cyber Initiative Digital Forensics Lab is seeking a one‑year subscription to Magnet Forensics’ Axiom Advanced digital investigative platform. The university claims the product is the only solution that meets its mobile‑forensics and cloud‑analysis requirements, justifying a sole‑source procurement. The contract value is modest, covering a $7,225 license for the year. • Provides comprehensive digital forensics capabilities including mobile device extraction, IoT data analysis, and cloud‑hosted reliability. • Intended for use by the university’s Cyber Initiative Digital Forensics Lab to support law‑enforcement and research activities. • Vendor must be Magnet Forensics; objections to sole‑source status must be submitted to the university’s procurement office.
