The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) is pursuing a sole source procurement under solicitation number 3150005423 for the acquisition of one-year-old patient simulators and associated components from Gaumard.

Final award notification was scheduled to occur no earlier than February 2, 2024. Administrative oversight is managed by the UMMC Category Management and Procurement office.
