Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase for Innovasea Transponders and Receivers

The University of Southern Mississippi is proposing a sole source purchase of Innovasea Transponders and Receivers. The university requires these devices to track and monitor fish populations in Mississippi's waters. The justification for the sole source purchase is that Innovasea is the premier company in passive acoustic telemetry devices, and their technology is the only one that meets the university's needs. The university has contacted other competitors, but none of them offer compatible technology. The purchase price is considered reasonable, and the university has obtained the best possible price. Key points to consider: • The university is seeking to purchase Innovasea Transponders and Receivers for tracking fish populations. • The sole source purchase is justified due to Innovasea's premier technology and compatibility with the university's existing infrastructure. • The purchase price is considered reasonable, and the university has obtained the best possible price. • The university has contacted other competitors, but none of them offer compatible technology.
