UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI

Notice of Intent to Certify Sole Source

# ITSS 373

The University of Mississippi (UM) anticipates purchasing the item(s) listed

below as a sole source purchase. Anyone objecting to this purchase as a sole

source shall follow the procedures outlined below.

Commodity or commodities to be purchased (manufacturer, model, description):

Swing Catalyst-Swing Catalyst USA, Inc

The need to be fulfilled by this item(s) and why it is the only one that can meet the

specific needs of the department:

Swing Catalyst is the sole manufacturer, developer, and distributor of the Swing Catalyst

integrated kinetic/kinematics integrated platform system. Swing Catalyst is built on a modular

platform that offers users the flexibility to work with a single technology or a fully equipped

biomechanical measurement suite. Swing Catalyst is the only software platform that operates

the Swing Catalyst balance plate, force plate, and motion plate systems simultaneously with 3D

high speed camera integration for kinematics. This allows for synchronized measurement,

display, and processing of foot pressure, 3D kinematic, 2D video, 3D/2D kinetic, and other

analog data signals for the purpose of capturing human movement. Swing Catalysts uses

"Bertec" manufactured plates that fully integrate with our existing Noraxon IM system. Any

other plates would require the purchase of additional technology to integrate with our current

motion capture systems.

Name of company/individual selling the item and why that source is the only

possible source that can provide the required item(s):

Swing Catalyst USA, P.O. Box 3168, West Chester, PA 19381, Contact@swingcatalyst.com. Swing

Catalyst is the sole manufacturer, developer, and distributor of the Swing Catalyst integrated

kinetic/kinematics integrated platform system. Swing Catalyst is built on a modular platform

that offers users the flexibility to work with a single technology or a fully equipped

biomechanical measurement suite. Swing Catalyst is the only software platform that operates

the Swing Catalyst balance plate, force plate, and motion plate systems simultaneously with 3D

high speed camera integration for kinematics.

Why the amount to be expended is reasonable:

The cost is very reasonable considering the system not only integrates 2 force plates, a sensor

plate, a pressure plate and motion capture software. These technologies purchased separately

would take an internal effort to design an integrated software application that Swing Catalysts

provides in a single integrated solution.

Efforts to obtain the best possible price for this purchase:

We held negations with the vendor and they have given a 20% discount off the market price.

commodity in the proposed sole source request can be provided by another person

or entity, then UM will withdraw the sole source certification and submit the

procurement of the commodity to an advertised competitive bid or selection process.

purchase.
