SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT - Software for Video Exchange for Basketball Team

Longwood University awarded a sole‑source contract to Synergy Sports Technology for a software platform that enables video exchange, scouting, and analytics among college basketball programs, particularly within the South Conference. The $7,000 fixed‑price award was approved rapidly in late June 2019 and became effective on July 1, 2019.
