Archer 1200 Mobile Barrier System Sole‑Source Procurement

Mississippi State University is seeking a sole‑source purchase of the Archer 1200 mobile barrier system to protect the “Stone Boulevard” area during football season and other large events. The procurement includes delivery, a drop‑deck trailer, optional arrestor cables, a beam gate system, an Archer hauler, on‑site training, and freight services. The sole‑source justification asserts that no other product meets the extensive ballistic and performance standards required. The total estimated value is $120,435.82, and any objections must be submitted in writing to the designated procurement official. • Supply and deliver the Archer 1200 mobile barrier, trailer, and ancillary equipment. • Install optional 4‑ft and 10‑ft arrestor cables in a daisy‑chain configuration. • Provide certified in‑field training and freight handling for the system. • Sole‑source justification hinges on unique performance specs (MASH, ASTM, PAS 68, IWA‑14, US DOD, NATO .50‑cal). • Objection process requires written notice to the CPPO, Jennifer Mayfield, via email.
