Authoritative Sources
The controlling Mississippi DFA procurement record is available at Mississippi DFA Procurement Details 46502. It identifies Mississippi State Hospital as the agency, Sandy Randle as the procurement contact, and product category 11505 (Biochemicals/Reagents). Mississippi State Hospital separately publishes the signed procurement notice as Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase 926-494.
Verified Procurement Scope
Mississippi State Hospital proposes to purchase FDA-cleared Clozapine Test Kits produced by Saladax Biomedical, Inc., including the MyCare Clozapine Assay Kit, MyCare Clozapine Calibration Kit 2, and MyCare Clozapine Control Kit 2 for therapeutic drug monitoring of Clozaril/Clozapine. The hospital states that the Saladax assay is the only FDA-cleared commercially available clozapine test kit compatible with its laboratory complexity and current Vitros 7600 analyzer, and that Saladax is the proprietor of the assay.
Pricing: the notice states a $2,600 list price for the Clozapine assay and a quoted cost of $2,150, described as a 17% discount. The notice does not state a total procurement quantity or total contract value.
Objection process: a person or entity objecting to the sole-source determination must submit a written notice explaining why the commodity is not sole source, with supporting documentation when applicable, to Mississippi State Hospital, c/o Sandy Jordan, Procurement Director, 3550 Highway 468 West, Whitfield, MS 39193, or Sandy.Jordan@msh.ms.gov. The required subject line is Sole Source Objection. The Mississippi DFA record lists September 30, 2026 at 10:00 AM as the submission/opening time; the official DFA detail page does not state a time zone.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 25/100. N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. This is legitimate Mississippi behavioral-health and laboratory procurement intelligence, but the notice is a supplier-specific sole-source determination for Saladax proprietary clozapine testing products. No truthful Dr. Miltie direct-vendor, applicant-partner, or N9+ path is established on the verified facts. Atlas should not file an objection unless a genuinely equivalent FDA-cleared product and supporting evidence are independently verified.
Next Action
Monitor the official Mississippi DFA and Mississippi State Hospital sources through the September 30, 2026 submission window for any amendment, withdrawal, award action, or authoritative change. Do not create a Dr. Miltie pursuit, applicant outreach, CRM Deal, objection package, or submission unless new verified facts establish a legitimate path.
