Mississippi State University – Sole Source Purchase of Exxat Cloud‑Based Clinical and Experiential Education Management Software

Mississippi State University seeks to procure a cloud‑based clinical and experiential education management platform to support multiple health‑science programs. The university has identified Exxat, Inc. as the sole source capable of delivering the required functionality off‑the‑shelf, including clinical placement management, CPT/AMA licensing, accreditation mapping, and secure multi‑program data segregation. The initial contract term is one year with a projected cost of $23,505, covering licensing for users and modules, with the ability to adjust student counts annually. The sole‑source request is open for objections, after which the award will be reviewed by the Public Procurement Review Board. • Software must provide comprehensive clinical education management (placement, compliance, CPT coding, accreditation, preceptor credentialing). • Must support multiple health‑science programs with separate data realms and SaaS delivery. • No competing products meet all functional requirements without significant customization. • Budget is modest ($23.5 k) for a one‑year term; any vendor must match or improve on price and functionality.
