Opportunity Overview
Mississippi State University has published a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase for Exxat cloud-based clinical and experiential education management software, identified as SSN 267-034. The platform is intended to support clinical placement management, student compliance tracking, CPT documentation, accreditation and competency-based curriculum mapping, preceptor management, and multi-program administration across health sciences programs.
Status and Deadline
The official Mississippi State University Procurement Services current-bids page lists the submission deadline as September 18, 2026 at 8:00 AM. The official page does not publish a time zone for this deadline, so Atlas does not infer one.
Estimated Value
The controlling sole-source notice states an estimated initial one-year cost of $23,505, covering Exxat Prism and Approve modules plus CPT/AMA licensing. Student counts may be adjusted annually and additional students may be added at established rates.
Eligibility and Response Path
This is not a conventional open RFP. Any person or entity that objects to the sole-source determination and can substantiate that the required commodity can be provided by another source may submit a written objection. The objection must provide a detailed explanation and appropriate supporting documentation.
Submission Method and Contact
Written objections are directed to Jennifer Mayfield, CPPO, Director of Procurement Services and Chief Procurement Officer, at jmayfield@procurement.msstate.edu. The subject line must read Sole Source Objection. Mississippi State University Procurement Services also lists 662-325-2553 for bid questions.
Procurement Requirements
The notice does not state a bidder registration requirement, match or cost share, separate application forms, references, or a standard pricing proposal because this is a sole-source objection process rather than a competitive solicitation. No addendum or FAQ specific to SSN 267-034 was identified on the current official posting at the time of verification.
Atlas Analysis
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The Nonagon N9+ is a remote physical examination platform and does not satisfy the required clinical and experiential education management functions described in the Exxat sole-source notice.
QC Healthcare / Dr. Miltie direct-vendor fit: 0/100. Atlas found no legitimate basis to represent Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare as a provider of an equivalent integrated clinical education management platform with the specific functions MSU identified.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 0/100 for direct pursuit. No direct response is advanced.
Atlas Action
Published as verified Mississippi health-sciences education procurement intelligence. No CRM Deal, WorkDrive pursuit folder, task, applicant record, or outreach is created because there is no legitimate Dr. Miltie/QC direct-pursuit fit.
