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.
