Sole Source Notice for Alcorn State University Product Development Center (PDC)Alcorn State University is conducting a sole source procurement for professional consulting services through its Product Development Center in Lorman, Mississippi, under solicitation number 9210-27-R-RFIN-00001, with a response deadline of August 10, 2026. The contract, valued at $138,000, involves a twelve-month engagement with Donald & Associates Consulting Group to deliver an integrated suite of services including strategic planning, food manufacturing system implementation, regulatory compliance with HACCP, GMP, SSOP, and OSHA standards, product commercialization, branding, grant development, workforce training, operational documentation, and knowledge transfer. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1 as a sole source due to the vendor’s proprietary methodology, integrated implementation framework, and unique alignment with the university’s institutional goals, eliminating the possibility of competition without duplication of effort or fragmentation of services. Payment is structured as monthly installments of $11,500 based on performance milestones and formal acceptance of deliverables by the university, with no options, extensions, or alternative pricing tiers included. The place of performance is exclusively at the Alcorn State University Product Development Center in Lorman, MS, and all services are to be delivered on-site. Mertha George serves as the primary point of contact for procurement matters and payment coordination, located at 1000 ASU Dr #509, Lorman, MS 39096. Objections to the sole source determination must be submitted by the deadline and may be appealed to the Public Procurement Review Board. No formal contract clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation, list of attachments, packaging requirements, evaluation factors, or vendor representations and certifications are included in the documentation, consistent with the nature of the procurement being a non-competitive justification rather than a competitive solicitation. The funding originates from the university’s state appropriation, and while the solicitation references an RFx number and agency code, no specific accounting lines or payment office banking details are provided.

The NAICS code 541715 applies, and no set-aside provisions are in effect. While no maximum contract value has been disclosed, the structure supports multiple task orders to be issued over the life of the contract, with specific delivery requirements tied to the defined task areas.

There are no stipulated security, data rights, Section 508 compliance, or key personnel requirements, nor are there any options, extensions, or subcontracting plans indicated. The absence of CLINs, cost estimates, or contract value figures underscores that this document is non-binding and purely exploratory, aimed at validating market availability and technical feasibility before proceeding with a formal procurement. All performance and delivery obligations are tied to the designated location in Parlier, California

Contractors must meet prequalification requirements and assume full responsibility for engineering, manufacturing, supply chain management, logistics, long-lead procurement, obsolescence mitigation, and final delivery, bearing all associated costs. This notice is strictly for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposal, or commitment to issue a future contract. No funds are available for the preparation of responses, and submissions are entirely voluntary. Although responses are accepted until July 17, 2026, the government is under no obligation to award any contract based on the information received. The point of contact for inquiries is Scott Alexander at scott.alexander@dla.mil, with Anna Phillips as a secondary contact. All potential vendors must independently seek source approval and ensure compliance with any future solicitation terms, as this announcement serves only as a preliminary market survey and contains no financial or contractual implications.
