Longwood University awarded a sole‑source, one‑year maintenance contract for its long‑standing Housing Management System (HMS) to Residential Management Systems, Inc. The award ensures continuous software support, updates, and troubleshooting for the university’s residential housing operations without transitioning to a new platform.
• Scope: Annual maintenance, support, and updates for the proprietary HMS used by the Residential & Commuter Life department.
• Reason for sole source: RMS is the original developer and sole holder of the source code, making it the only vendor capable of providing compatible maintenance.
• Value: $28,351 (lump‑sum) for FY24, reflecting historical pricing consistency since the system’s inception in 2003.
