Opportunity Overview
The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) is accepting proposals for RFQ Shredding Services. UMMC’s official procurement page lists the RFQ among its current Requests for Proposals and Qualifications, and the official notice directs interested vendors to request the full RFQ from Kendra Carter.
Deadline and Submission
September 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Standard Time (CST). The official notice states proposals must be received by that time in the manner instructed within the full RFQ document. To obtain the RFQ, vendors must email kcarter2@umc.edu; phone requests are not accepted.
Eligibility and Vendor Rules
UMMC states generally that vendors do not have to prequalify to respond to its solicitations and may respond when they have the requisite expertise. The public notice does not state solicitation specific minimum experience, insurance, bonding, references, security, destruction standards, pricing format, or certification requirements. Vendors must obtain and follow the controlling RFQ before submitting. Atlas does not infer those requirements.
Funding and Cost Share
No contract ceiling or estimated value is stated in the public notice. This is a procurement rather than a grant, so grant style match or cost share does not apply.
Questions, Addenda, and Amendments
The official current opportunities page lists the RFQ but does not separately list an addendum or FAQ in the public notice. Vendors should obtain the RFQ directly from UMMC and monitor the official procurement page for controlling changes through the deadline.

Atlas Analysis
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. Secure shredding services do not create a legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform.
QC Healthcare / Dr. Miltie direct vendor fit: 0/100. Available records do not establish Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare as a shredding services vendor, and Atlas will not force a fit.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 5/100 for direct pursuit. This is retained as verified Mississippi healthcare procurement intelligence. No CRM pursuit, WorkDrive folder, package, or outreach is appropriate on current facts.
