Payroll deduction software increases retail revenue at UMMC retail locations by allowing employees to utilize their employee badge rather having to carry cash or a debit/credit card. Payroll deduction also provides a significant benefit to UMMC providers

The University of Mississippi Medical Center is renewing its support and licensing agreement for the Common CENTS Solutions product suite under a sole source procurement designated as SS9735, with no competitive bidding due to the vendor’s exclusive capability to provide the integrated system currently in use. The contract, identified by solicitation number 9275-26-R-RFIN-00050, is valued at $250,000 over a three-year period and is scoped to maintain and enhance payroll deduction services via employee badge swipes at UMMC retail locations, alongside credit and debit card transaction processing. This solution enables staff to make purchases without carrying cash or personal payment cards, improving convenience and increasing retail revenue while supporting providers who often lack access to other payment methods during shifts. The system is fully embedded in existing retail workflows and is considered a critical operational component, justifying the non-competitive award. The place of performance is in Mississippi, and the contract permits UMMC to increase spending during the term if additional enhancements or equipment are deemed within scope. Submission of objections or responses must occur by June 23, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time, via email to [email hidden] or by physical delivery to 100 Capitol Street, Jackson, MS. Any objections must include the required certification from Attachment B and use the official Vendor Form available through the Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration. UMMC retains the right to inspect competing offerings for comparison purposes and is not liable for delays in response delivery. No formal evaluation factors, inspection protocols, or detailed contract administration guidelines are specified, as the award is predicated solely on the certification that Common CENTS Solutions is the only viable provider.
